From a decade at Lansing Correctional Facility to sitting beside us in church as a free man, meet James. 🕊️

While incarcerated, James felt called to start a Saturday night church service that still thrives today. Growth Ministries had the privilege of mentoring him during his final year and walking alongside him as he transitioned back into society.

Since his release, James has secured housing, purchased a vehicle with his own savings, and is now working toward his CDL! James’ success is a testament to God’s grace and the power of having a "safe bridge" when returning home.
Will you help us build more bridges like this?

Please consider sowing into the lives of many more men and women like James. Your support provides the mentorship and community needed to turn a new chapter into a lifelong success.

Headline: A gift that truly humbles us. We just received our first donation of the year: a $200 check from Manuel, who is currently incarcerated in Kansas.

To put that in perspective, many inmates earn as little as $0.25 an hour. This isn’t just a donation; it is a massive sacrifice and a beautiful reminder that God is moving in hearts everywhere.

Please join us in praying for Manuel today. We are also praying that this "seed" he planted grows into a forest, helping Growth Ministries reach even more people with the Gospel this year. 🙌

The executive director of Growth Ministries, Lonnie Johnson, had the blessed opportunity to join a 25 member mission team that went to the Philippines.

While there he was able to preach to over 600 inmates in two different prisons. Of those were over 209 salvations and 42 inmate baptisms. We were also able to distribute care packages to everyone.

Each month we publish a magazine filled with encouragement, hope, and love. If you have a loved one who is incarcerated, inbox us their mailing information and we will add them to our mailing list.
