Along Side Ministries

To mobilize the Body of Christ to disciple and equip incarcerated men and women for victorious Christian living.

It is our true desire to bring glory to God by honoring his command to love one another. He doesn't say only love those who are not shunned by society - In fact - He sought those individuals out while He was here on earth. In line with the word of God - We believe our calling is to help the incarcerated Christian community learn how to walk with Jesus, as they transition from prison to society. Th

rough prayer, mentorship, and most importantly, love ~ Our ministry reaches out and walks alongside those incarcerated Christians that have the desire to follow Him with everything they are. Our mentorship program is intensive and specific. By the grace of a loving and merciful God, we have been able to be involved in His work.

The day someone comes home from prison can feel like the finish line.

But for families, it can also feel like the beginning of a whole new set of questions.

Where will they go? What happens next? How do you help without trying to carry everything yourself?

The first 90 days are important. That's why Along Side Ministries created a simple framework for navigating them: Stabilization, Structure, Support, Small Wins, and Spiritual Grounding.

We've written more about what these pillars can look like in real life, including two places to start: getting life steady and learning to recognize progress.

✨ From rejection and brokenness to healing and purpose in Christ. ✨

Aime Espinoza’s testimony is a powerful reminder that no past is too painful and no life is too far gone for the redeeming love of Jesus. After years of fear, addiction, incarceration, and deep struggles with rejection, Aime found true hope, healing, and identity in Christ. 🙏

Today, she is walking in faith, building a new life, working hard, saving for her future, and growing into the woman God has called her to be. Along Side Ministries has been honored to walk beside her as she continues to press forward in Him. 💙

“I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:14 ✝️

June was never going to fix everything.

Restoration is real. Renewal is real. But not everyone who started this month ends it with the breakthrough they were praying for. Some are still waiting. Some are still in the hard middle. Some had setbacks they didn't see coming.

Jeremiah knew that too.

He wrote Lamentations 3 sitting in the rubble of a destroyed Jerusalem — not after the dust settled, not from a place of arrival. From the middle of devastation.

And from there he wrote this:

*"Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness."*
— Lamentations 3:22–23

Not "great was Your faithfulness, back when things were good."

Great is. Present tense. Right here in the rubble.

His mercy isn't new every morning because everything worked out. It's new every morning because that is who He is — regardless of where we are.

We pray this over everyone closing out June carrying something heavy:

Over the man still inside who prayed for restoration he couldn't yet see.
Over the family still waiting for a relationship to come back.
Over the person in the first hard weeks after release.
Over the one who had a setback and is wondering if the story is still going.

His compassions never fail. Great is His faithfulness.
The mercy is new tomorrow — whatever tomorrow holds.

**Pray This With Us**

*"Lord, You are faithful in the rubble and faithful in the rebuilding. I don't have to be at the end of the story to trust You in the middle of it. Your mercy is new tomorrow. That is enough."*

→ If you want to be part of the restoration work continuing into July — our $60K matching challenge closes tomorrow. Every dollar still doubled. Link in bio. QCO code 20298.

The hardest part of restoration is the part in the middle.

Not the moment you decided to change. Not the day everything comes together. The long road in between — where the past is still loud and the future isn't clear yet.

Paul knew that road.

"Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal." — Philippians 3:13–14

He didn't write those words from a place of arrival. He wrote them from a prison cell.

He wasn't telling us the past doesn't matter. He was showing us it doesn't have to lead.

At Along Side Ministries, we walk with people in that middle place — not just at the beginning of the journey, and not just at the end, but in the long hard stretch where most people stop showing up.

Pray this today:
"God, I release what I cannot change. I fix my eyes on where You are taking me. Give me the courage to press on from exactly where I am."

With 8 days left in our $60K matching challenge, your gift is what makes it possible to keep showing up in that middle place. Every dollar still doubled.

✨ A Life Redeemed ✨
Eddie Mitchell’s testimony is a powerful reminder that no life is beyond the reach of God’s mercy, restoration, and amazing grace. What began with hardship, poor choices, and prison was not the end of his story. Through surrender to Christ and the faithful support of Along Side Ministries, Eddie found hope, healing, and a renewed purpose. 🙏
Today, his family has been restored, his faith is stronger than ever, and his life stands as proof that God still makes all things new. What the enemy meant for evil, God turned into redemption and purpose. 💙
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.” 2 Corinthians 5:17 ✝️

This is what 25 years looks like.

Men and women who walked in carrying nothing but the weight of what their choices cost — and who walked out carrying something no program could give them.

God promises it in Isaiah 61:3: beauty for ashes. Oil of joy for mourning. A garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.

We have seen it happen. In prison yards. In halfway houses. In the faces of people who had been told their story was finished — writing new ones.

Not because of what Along Side does. Because of what God does in a life that decides to trust Him with the broken pieces.

This is the work. This is why we go back inside every week.

Right now, you have a rare chance to be part of it — and to double your impact while you do.

Through June 30, every dollar given to Along Side Ministries is matched up to $60,000 by a group of generous donors. Your $50 becomes $100. Your $100 becomes $200.

The ashes-to-beauty work continues because people like you show up for it.

Become part of the solution to the men and women that are transitioning from prison to society. God is at work! Your gift will begin to impact a life immediately.

May is almost over.

And before the calendar turns we want to ask you something.

What shifted in you this month?

Not what you did. Not what you gave or signed up for or liked or shared. What shifted — quietly, internally, in the space between the noise of daily life and the moments when something you read or heard or felt actually landed somewhere real?

Because we believe something was planted this month.

In the people who started asking harder questions about who the vulnerable actually are. In the ones who felt something stir when they read about a man learning to read at forty or a woman overwhelmed by a grocery store after six years inside. In the person who has been thinking about writing a letter or showing up on a Wednesday evening but hasn't quite made the move yet.

Something was planted.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 reminds us that everything has a season. May was a season of seeing — of opening eyes to specific people in specific pain and asking God what our hands were made for.

June is a different season.
It's a season of restoration. Of renewal. Of what happens after the hard work of serving — when God begins to heal not just the people you showed up for but something in you as well.

We have seen this truth play out more times than we can count. The person who came to serve and found themselves being restored in the process. The volunteer who thought they were giving something and discovered they were receiving something they didn't know they needed.

That is what June holds.

Don't walk away from this community before you see it.

💬 What is one thing from this month — a thought, a moment, a shift — that you don't want to lose going into June? Tell us. We want to carry it with you.
