Your support helped Michele confront the darkness that led her to the county jail. God played a role in her life, but Michele was on a self-destructive path. She knew things had to change. Michele discovered that a women’s Bible study was offered in the jail through Reach the Forgotten Jail Ministry. Soon she was […]

We hope to break the cycle of incarceration, transforming the lives of not just inmates, but their families and their communities as they return home. […]

Sample Page

This is an example page. It’s different from a blog post because it will stay in one place and will show up in your site navigation (in most themes). Most people start with an About page that introduces them to potential site visitors. It might say something like this: Hi there! I’m a bike messenger […]
