Come attend one of two field trips designed to give you an inside look into how God is working in the lives of those behind bars but set free by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ! No doubt you will be inspired by shared stories and testimonies and want to serve in some way.
Men will witness the transforming power of God at work in inmates lives by attending a God of Hope (GOH) graduation event. Graduates have successfully completed an intensive 6-month program designed to equip them spiritually, mentally, and physically.
Women will enjoy a BBQ lunch followed by a tour of the GOH women’s faith-based dorm to learn about the program and the amazing ways that God is bringing hope and healing to women who formerly had little to no hope.
All will learn about the various ways to serve either inside or outside of the prison. Sorry, no minors permitted within the units. Finally, all paperwork MUST be submitted by the respective due date and can be obtained by contacting Jane Heetderks-Cox (below).
