Hope for the Hopeless
Cement walls and iron doors muffle a continual cry for help from the men and women in Kentucky’s correctional facilities. Nearly 24,000 are serving time. Many come from broken, fatherless homes; many are repeat offenders; and many lose hope, caught in a continual cycle of sin and substance abuse. Without the hope of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, many will never become free on the inside, facing a hopeless eternity and destitute life.
Since 2004, volunteers and chaplains from Kentucky Jail Ministries have been restoring hope and encouraging broken hearts and lives. John Quincy Adams once said, “Duty is ours, results are God’s.” We believe it is our responsibility to “remember those in prison as if we were their fellow prisoners.” If we don’t carry the hope of the Gospel, who will?
From volunteering to financial contributions, there are many ways you can make a difference in the lives of these men and women.
From Kentucky Corrections Professionals…
“The Life Skills program offers offenders the opportunity to address…personal issues as well as teaching them how to be successful, productive citizens of society. If we don’t minister, encourage, and educate our offenders then the chance of success is very low.”
“Kentucky Jail Ministries has developed a Life Skills program to aid individuals in their reentry into society…[to] develop skills needed to be successful in every day life…writing checks and taking care of a bank account to creating a resume for a job position…Inmates have changed their attitudes and hope to become productive, law-abiding citizens upon their release.”
“I am a 22 year Corrections Professional and have seen many faith-based groups come into a jail for services. None of these groups, in my opinion, can equal the positive impact that the Kentucky Jail Ministries has on our prisoner population…”
