Mission Statement

To reach those juveniles who have been incarcerated with the unconditional love of Jesus Christ. To bring forth the Word in love and with power and demonstration with the anointing of the Holy Spirit, the burden-removing yoke-destroying power of God. To mend the broken hearted with the fullness of Jesus Christ. To be obedient to the great commission going forth in full authority proclaiming the love of God.
What to get involved? There are many areas to get involved in and many needs to be met in these facilities. The Lord has called me to share the gospel, play sports, and interact in group settings as well as teach vocational trades. But there is so much more.

These are just a few of them. Whatever role the Lord is leading you in, no matter how big or small, you will change the life of these youth. I have received emails after emails on how these youth need to learn how to read and write. Even at the age of sixteen and seventeen, some cannot read or write. Even if the Lord is not leading you to lead worship or teach a bible study, there are many ways you can have a huge impact on their lives. Just taking an hour out of your week to tutor, play a game, pray, or even just listen will have an everlasting impact. We, as Christians, have everything we need to share the love of Jesus with them. In whatever way you are lead; remember, it is in you!Matt. 25:31-46
