some form of correctional supervision at the end
of 2015. This was the lowest rate observed since
1994, when about 1 in 38 adults (1.6 million fewer
persons) were under correctional supervision in
the nation (not shown). Our ministry’s goal is to reach inmates and their families with the hope that can only be found in Jesus Christ. We reach inmates by assisting with Sunday services in prisons and jails all around San Diego, praying for them and writing them letters of encouragement. We reach their families through fellowship, prayer and activities that spreads God’s Love. Prison/Jail outreach
