What if one encounter, one conversation could change the direction of a life?

Every day, Good News Global chaplains step behind prison walls not knowing what God has already been doing in someone’s heart.

A Bible opened.
A prayer offered.
A question answered.
A relationship built.

And sometimes, that ordinary moment becomes the moment everything changes.

That’s the power of presence—being there when someone is finally ready to hear that their past does not have to define their future.

The Gospel is changing lives behind bars. And we get to be there when it happens. 🙌

Hope has a way of showing up in unexpected places.

Behind prison walls, God is writing stories of redemption, restoring broken hearts, and giving men and women a reason to believe their future can be different.

Today, we simply celebrate this truth:

No wall is too high. No past is too broken. No life is beyond the reach of God's grace.

The Gospel changes everything. 🙌

A Story of Freedom
As told by a Good News Global Chaplain

When I went into the housing unit, one of the men who had been in custody for about a year came up to talk with me. During this time in custody, he began taking the Bible seriously for the first time in his life. He placed his faith in Christ and started faithfully studying the Scriptures. He had been in custody before, but had never truly pursued learning and applying the Bible.

Recently, he shared with me how he has been walking away from situations where he normally would have become angry and fought. For about three months now, he has avoided fights entirely. What especially encouraged him was that officers and others around him had noticed the change in his life as well.

For the first time in his life, he is living with self-control.

This deeply encouraged me because throughout much of this past year, as he was learning the Bible, he regularly shared with me how he had gotten into another fight. It seemed to be a constant struggle. So we spent a great deal of time talking through what the Bible says about anger, self-control, and how to respond to others. I cannot even remember half of the conversations we had on the subject, but I do remember how much time, patience, and focused one-on-one ministry went into it.

Now, seeing the fruit of that work is incredibly encouraging.

God truly transforms lives.

Someone is waiting.

Waiting for someone to listen.
Waiting for someone to care.
Waiting for someone to open God's Word.

Through faithful presence and caring relationships, Good News Global chaplains invite incarcerated men and women to discover the hope, forgiveness, and freedom found in Jesus Christ.

The Gospel changes everything.
