Message From Our Chaplain and President
April 2025
Dear Partners and Friends,
A Season of Renewal and Dedication
“March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.” This saying captures the swift passage of time, and indeed, this month has flown by. Yet, amidst the busyness, we find peace and gratitude in every moment we remember our dedicated supporters. We thank God for you and pray that His abundant blessings rain upon you continuously. Your steadfast support empowers our mission to bring hope and salvation to those behind bars, where many souls eagerly await the truth of God's unfailing love.
Our ministry thrives because of the devoted men and women of God who labor alongside us. We invite you to join this vital work if you feel called. We seek volunteers to assist in various roles, including financial support, prayer, prison visits, and serving on our Board. If you or someone you know feels led to contribute to this mission, please reach out. You can contact me at [email protected] or call 832-216-8532 and leave a message. Thank you once more, and may the Lord richly bless you all.
In John 20:7, we read about the cloth that covered Jesus' face being folded neatly in the tomb. Why is this detail important? To understand, we must consider Jewish customs of that era. When a servant set a table for the master, the servant would wait nearby but out of sight until the master had finished eating. If the master left the table, having balled up his napkin, it signified that he was done, and the servant could clear the table. However, if the master folded the napkin and placed it beside his plate, it indicated that he was not finished and planned to return. Therefore, the folded napkin in the tomb is a powerful symbol: Jesus is not finished. He is coming back!
May this message inspire and uplift you as we continue our mission.

Town of Hope Vision
Our beloved brother, Robert Dubois, has gone to his eternal rest, leaving behind a burning passion for this vision. Reflect on Hebrews 11:13 and 12:1. Let us strive to remain among the faithful.
As we journey through 2024, our hope is to see our dream for the Town of Hope come to fruition. The Town of Hope is envisioned as a sanctuary for men and women released from prison with no place to call home. This community will support them by providing spiritual guidance and vocational training, helping them reintegrate into society with renewed purpose and strength.
