"Setting captives free."

This phrase continued to surface as my wife and I were in prayer and in the Word. It seemed God was leading us to walk in Isaiah 61 and proclaim freedom for the captives, but what did it all mean? 

In early 2025, a friend and I began volunteering at a local correctional facility in Indiana. This simple step of obedience created a deep burden for those who were incarcerated and a few months later a new vision began to form. 

​

It was a calling to make disciples and plant churches in correctional facilities and among the families impacted by incarceration. Jesus was asked in Matthew 25:39-40, “When did we see you sick or in prison?” He answered, “Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." 

​

The evidence of our faith is often seen in our response to the last, the lost, and the least. Jesus said in Mark 2:17, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

Millions of people have been impacted by incarceration, and we want to be a catalyst to call the Church to lead the way in caring for those impacted by the criminal justice system. ​
