“Sin is like a snowball going down the hill. It just picks up momentum and gets bigger until you finally crash, and that’s what happened.”

Lost and alone in his cell, Daniel's desperate plea for a Bible ignited a life-changing commitment to serve God wholeheartedly. Now, the man whose downfall began with a street fight is a passionate advocate defending others.

Daniel never imagined that an opportunity he had while incarcerated would prepare him for the halls of Congress—but with God, all things are possible.

When Pastor Michael Durso of Saints Church and Daniel Washington from Prison Fellowship first crossed paths, they didn't know they also shared a powerful calling.

Having walked the hard road of incarceration himself, Daniel now returns behind the walls to share hope and encouragement with others.

Once a prisoner, Daniel Washington now leads prison ministry at Saints Church in New York City and serves on staff with Prison Fellowship. As Saints Church marks Second Chance Sunday, they invite churches nationwide to celebrate the power of second chances.
