Every week, women in our Behind the Walls classes are discovering something new in God’s Word. ❤️

Jennifer began without knowing much about the Bible, but now its stories amaze her—and she continues to come back ready to learn more.

The Lord also recently answered a major prayer for Jennifer! We are grateful to see Him working in her life. Please pray that each answered prayer and every lesson will draw her closer to Him.

God's Word never returns empty.

We're grateful that Ms. Nyema has been willing to learn more about the Bible and engage in conversations about faith through our Behind the Walls ministry.

Please join us in praying that God will continue to reveal Himself to her, draw her to the truth of the Gospel, and guide each step of her journey.

Sometimes, the greatest gift we can offer is a place where someone feels safe to grow.

We're thankful for the relationships God is building through our Behind the Walls ministry. Please pray for Ms. Ciara as she continues to grow in her faith and for the volunteers who faithfully invest in women like her each week.

"Encourage one another and build one another up." — 1 Thessalonians 5:11

God's work doesn't always have a name attached—but it always brings Him glory.

Thank you for praying for the women in our Behind the Walls ministry as they grow in their faith and discover the hope found in Christ.

Recovery is serious work—but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a little fun along the way! 😂 Our students pulled off a pretty good prank on Ms. Kathryn! Life at FOCUS is full of healing, growth, community, and plenty of laughter. ❤️

Homemade cookies 🍪
There are a lot of “firsts” at the Freedom House. Today is one of those firsts, and we are so grateful to get to part of it. And grateful for yummy cookies 😊

Some of the women who come into our program are still attached to their past in more ways than one. It's not just the mistakes they've made—it's the unhealthy relationships they're still legally tied to.
For many, these toxic relationships become a barrier to the fresh start they're working so hard to build. They are ready to move forward, but the cost of filing for divorce can keep them bound to a life they're desperately trying to leave behind.
You can help change that.
If you are an attorney—or know someone who practices family law—would you prayerfully consider partnering with our ministry by helping a woman file for divorce at little to no cost? Your expertise could remove one of the biggest obstacles standing between her and a new beginning.
A clean slate can change a life.
If you're interested in helping or would like more information, please send us a message. ❤️

God is still changing lives.

We're grateful to Ms. Marcy for sharing how the Lord has been working in her heart through our Behind the Walls ministry.

As she prepares for her upcoming release, would you join us in praying for her? Pray that she continues to grow in her faith, finds a strong church family, and walks confidently in the new life Christ has given her.

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." — 2 Corinthians 5:17

The last week of class behind the walls is always bittersweet.

Minds have been renewed. Lives have been transformed. Spiritual chains have been broken.

We've shed tears together. We've shared laughter and celebrated victories. Then, for a few weeks, we step away until the next semester begins and a new group of ladies walks into the classroom.

We're not just teaching classes—we're teaching a new way of life. We're feeding the sheep and welcoming new ones into the flock. We're planting seeds and watering those that others have already sown.

This is Kingdom work, and it takes more than a village—it takes a tribe.

If you've ever wondered what jail ministry is really like, come sit in on a class. You may walk in thinking you're there to change someone else's life, only to discover that God changes yours too.

The women the world has counted out are still waiting for someone to believe in them, invest in them, and remind them that their story isn't over.
