Our Newest - Newsletter! FEB- 2026

Please take a moment to read. We pray you will find it not only informative but MOVING.
God is opening doors of ministry opportunities faster than we can keep up. There is a true hunger for the Lord's Hope and truth...even when it's a place of seemingly such darkness.

We pray, that in this issue (which includes a former Death Row inmate's testimony) you will find encouragement...and caution.

The Lord is truly moving in Florida's prisons. This is worth the read!

We thank you all for your support and prayers.

Yes, read this question again. Look at the urgency of the writing. It's raw. It's real.
Have you ever asked this question?
This image may bring memories of a time when you wrestled with these very thoughts...or know of a loved one or friend who currently does. Maybe you're wrestling with it now.

When this note was found, here was a man serving time in prison for crimes that are unknown to us, but well -known to him; whatever it was he did to become incarcerated, it was bad enough to ask this question...to wonder if he had gone too far, and if it was too late for him?

Here was a man within the light of hope was fading...

It was this note - this moment, that the mission of this ministry was known, and what the goal MUST be, which is to:

Restore that fading Hope within each person's heart and soul that asks this burning question- by simply telling every incarcerated man/woman, that it is NOT too late, and that he/she in fact, has NOT out-sinned the grace of God.

Friend if you've been asking this - this was for you.

Scripture shines the light of this truth, "That where sin abounds, Grace much more abounds" -Romans 5:20

Now notice the picture. Look at the shadow. The heart. That wasn't edited. God's love is perfect! He loves us all in the middle of our questions and messes.
Give Him glory and praise!

Nothing is more personally rewarding for me than to get to tell a room full of incarcerated men that God loves them, and that though His Son, the Lord Jesus, He has made the only way for their sins to be dealt with and disposed of.

This is indeed good news, especially for those whom most of society has rejected. ๏ฟผEven in their own minds, they constantly hear โ€œrejected and worthless โ€œ, but through Jesus they are accepted in the Beloved.

Thanks be unto God, for His unspeakable gift!

Friday Updates and Prayer Requests!

Happy Friday!

As of today God is using Restored Hope Ministry in ways....we couldn't have imagined even months ago.
And doors KEEP OPENING!

215 MEN on average.... (Yes we keep a roster)... Are actively attending and participating each week. These are hearts and lives changed or changing... Being drawn closer to Him! ๐Ÿ’™They come to these various classes, Bible studies and open chapel offered throughout the week at different campus locations. Empty - looking to be filled. Looking for light - down their dark road of life. Needing HOPE.

Here's a good breakdown of how each week looks and how often our volunteers go and minister to these hungry men. And sometimes twice a day.

Monday:
AM - RMC West PAL Discipleship class - 60 men
PM- Columbia Correctional (CCI) Annex Protective Management - 15 men

Tuesdays:
Afternoon - CCI - Walking the 12 steps w/ Jesus Addiction Recovery - 12 men

PM- RMC West - Open Chapel - 75 men

Thursdays:
RMC: Main Unit - Walking the 12 steps with Jesus Addiction Recovery - 16 men

Fridays:
Union Correctional - ( UCI) Walking the 12 Steps with Jesus Addiction Recovery -10 men

Saturday:
UCI: Work Camp - Open Bible Study - 25 men

As you can see it's a NON -STOP schedule! This is a huge PRAISE to our Lord God... Because truly doors haven't opened like like before! And honestly.... There's a WAIT LIST. YES a WAIT LIST.๐Ÿ™Œ For more additional Addiction Recovery classes... For now, we simply don't have the man power.

Praise....
God recently answered a huge prayer request! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿš™

We desperately needed dependable transportation to continue mission work EVERYDAY driving those dark back roads. A fuel efficient vehicle was donated in the name of Christ and His work! Anybody Praise him!!!??
But it did need repairs and LOVE. With this.... Came a small cost. This was a necessary thing. The ministry only works with - Safe, reliable transportation. ๐Ÿš™
With having a vehicle... Small as it may be, there is costs. We are asking for the community's help! Your gifts of any kind will make a huge impact in this ministry! Again.... look at the numbers of men reached each week. Change IS happening in their hearts. You can be a part of this! ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’™

Prayer requests:

We ask for continued prayers over the men and open hearts during these Addiction Recovery classes. May They continue to be drawn to the Lord as they walk the journey of true healing in Christ.... Not seeking other temporary things that lead to pain.

Please pray for the staff that stand guard/officers around the inmates.....as they eavesdrop in these intimate, vulnerable and Holy conversations deep into the word of God. As many face their own struggles. Pray seeds are planted and relationships can grow between volunteers and staff.

Please pray for those who give and those may give to this ministry in the future.....we know God will provide, but we need partnership with those who will commit to giving to this ministry. It's growing at an incredible rate - we can't do this without the funds.

Please pray for James the founder of this ministry as he is the main volunteer. There are so many hearts to be reached but so few workers. Please be in prayer for God to bring an army of people who just "LOVE GOD and LOVE PEOPLE"!! Again you don't have to serve "BEHIND THE FENCE" to be truly a part of what God is doing! We can use any talent for His Glory! ๐Ÿ™Œ

Pray for protection and hard hearts to be softened. This ministry is extremely active and the devil fights it continuously. Please pray continuously against this.

Lastly. Thank YOU!
Know this. God is INCREDIBLY FAITHFUL! We want to invite you to be a part of something truly bigger than us. To invest in something eternal.... Lives changing. True JOY in Him!

WE THANK YOU our followers and givers.๐Ÿ’™
Without YOU....we wouldn't be able to fund the workbooks, Bibles, for these men! Because of YOU...we are able to donate clothing for men who are transitioning out of prison into the community again.
Restoring lives, giving Hope.

Please pray where God might be moving in your heart to support this ministry if you already aren't. Every bit of support goes directly into the ministry needs.
We appreciate you. We Love You. We're praying for everyone here - touched somehow by incarceration. May the Lord bring healing....as He draws you closer to Him.

Two days into the week and already the Lord Jesus is sending showers of blessings:

Monday AM - 60 inmates participating in the Commands of Christ discipleship class at RMC Lake Butler

Monday PM - started a new video series/ discussion on the Book of Acts at Columbia Correctional Institution. Original plan was to show one session, but they loved it so much they asked for session two! These guys are the little flock in Protective Custody that are dear to my heart โ™ฅ๏ธ.

Tuesday early afternoon- Walking the 12 Steps with Jesus Christ at Columbia Annex general population. These guys are so transparent about their struggles.

Tuesday evening- open chapel at RMC. Seventy-four men, including a Corrections Officer, turned out for praise, worship, and Bible preaching. Lots of AMENS all night, and the best part is 4 guys stood and publicly confessed Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord!

There is overflowing JOY in serving Jesus!
