Help Transform Lives Behind Bars

“We can’t just rail against crime. We must speak of the root problems… and recognize that there is a societal role in rehabilitation and restoration.” – Frank Wolf

Jacob’s Ladder Ministries has been changing lives for 47 years—providing spiritual guidance, emotional support, and practical resources to incarcerated individuals and their families. Our work helps reduce recidivism, restore families, and create safer communities.

Now, we have an opportunity to expand nationally through a partnership with Edovo, reaching thousands of inmates with life-changing digital education and spiritual content. For just $5,550 annually, we can make a nationwide impact.

Will you partner with us? Your tax-deductible gift will bring hope and transformation to those who need it most.

In all honesty, I was disappointed that my candidate lost her bid for the Presidency.
I took comfort in knowing that even in defeat, I took part in the process of voting.
But then I had to quickly put my “big boy pants on”.
I’ve always advocated peace and unity, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart, regardless of who is in the White House.
I also pray and give thanks for whoever is in authority, knowing that God is in control and knows what He is doing.
Ultimately, I want a peaceful and quiet life, in all godliness and holiness, which is God’s will.
With all that said:
Congratulations Donald Trump.

(1 Timothy 2:1-4 NKJV)
“I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone– for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth”.

Resilience is simply the ability to bounce back from adversity.
As we mature life happens and sometimes we find ourselves stuck.
God bakes resilience in us, yet sometimes we need help leveraging that resilience for breakthroughs.
I can help you obtain the breakthrough you are seeking!

The guys at MECC informed me today that a gentleman who was part of the Christian community is on hospice.
Lift him up in prayer. His name is Curtis 🙏🏽.

Family and Friends keep it moving regardless!

"If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward - Martin Luther King Jr. (1960 Spelman College)

(Philippians 3:12 NLT)
“I don’t mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I PRESS ON to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me”.

Faith is born in the spaces where we don’t have the answers!

Yesterday I attended a powerful prayer vigil for Ferguson Officer Travis Brown, who was seriously injured in what was supposed to be a peaceful protest last Friday night.
There is a spirit of hatred, division, lies, and confusion unleashed in this nation that is intensifying.
It’s up to us as Ministers of reconciliation to beat it back to hell!
His family is soliciting our continued prayer for his recovery and healing 🙏🏽.

Are you experiencing a season where there seems to be brick walls behind every door you knock on?
What do you do?
God says, “Keep knocking, keep asking, keep seeking because the next door you knock on will open up to a room full of purpose, which brings blessings”!

Matt 7:7-11 // Luke 11:9-13
“Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you”.

Be discerning of what open doors you walk through. EVERY open door is not from God and may be a distraction!
