We were recently blessed to reunite FIFTEEN incarcerated fathers with their children inside of a Florida prison! Some of these fathers haven’t seen their children in over a year and a half, and we were able to provide a whole day of fun and connection with their families. One man hadn’t seen his family in so long, that when his children ran to him, their hugs knocked him to the ground! We helped the men give their kids school supplies, gifts, a handwritten note, and so much more! They got to serve their families a meal, hold, and hug them without any rules.
This type of event is very rare and special to these fathers, and we firmly believe that restoring the relationships to the father is vital to breaking generational incarceration. God is breaking chains inside prison!
The gates opened, and 62 boys walked into Louisiana State Prison looking for their dads. Waiting for them were 46 fathers who had spent weeks preparing for this moment.
Twenty-five years earlier, Carvis Webb, now known as Pastor Donk, was led through the Angola gates in handcuffs. Last month, God Behind Bars brought him back to the place where everything began.
There has never been a greater urgency to reach men and women behind bars. The cycle of generational incarceration is massive, but together we get to do something about it. Whether you choose to give once or monthly, know that your donation is not only helping here on earth, but is changing eternities forever.
