Mission 29:11 Reentry

Directions Website

Via mentorship, we connect those coming out of incarceration with a healthy, supportive community. That promise guides our work.

Mission 29:11 Reentry was founded by Tim Dorway approximately three years after his release from the Minnesota Department of Corrections. Even with an amazing support network and many resources before him, he came home to closed doors, the realities of unemployment, temporary homelessness, barriers and the challenges of living in a world that says it believes in second chances but finds all kinds of ways not to live them. In Jeremiah 29:11, after years and years of banishment and exile, the Lord assures us of His plans for us and promises hope and a future. That passage was Dorway’s go-to scripture throughout his incarceration and after, especially in moments of despair, anxiety and fear. Today, Mission 29:11 is represented by a diverse Board and volunteers, all of whom have connections to the carceral system and reentry, be that through their own lived experiences, their careers or through their loved ones.

Our friends at The Come Up are celebrating their Grand Opening this Thursday from 12-5PM. Details in the photo. Their retail store and job training program welcomes men and women from incarceration. No barriers to employment or training in their program. Not one. And they are going to love the heck out of you, too. FREE lunch! Great deals. Greater purpose.

What a turnout today at our Reentry breakfast. Over 90 men and women gathered. One of our favorite parts? You can never tell who was incarcerated and who wasn’t.

We had a special visitor today, DOC Commissioner Paul Schnell thanked us for our mission and emphasized its importance. And, of course, we lifted him and all of his staff and incarcerated men and women in prayer!

We shared this at one of our last reentry breakfasts. Exciting news about a new TRUE fair chance workforce program in the Saint Paul/Maplewood area. Discount retail store, workforce training, a welcome center for those coming home and a LOT of hope and love. Hope you will give them a follow and check it out once they are open.

More than a discount store. Great finds, real opportunity, and a TRUE fair-chance workforce program and employer.

When you meet Brothers inside, you stick together and ride or die with Jesus. FYI, there was no prime rib in the DOC. And there will be prime rib tonight.

This is not about politics. It is about being recognized as human beings and helping those in prison have hope. It means you are not forgotten.

So grateful to be a partner with Westwood Community Church. They are leading the way in the ministries of restorative justice and jail, prison and reentry. They do it with grace, courage and love, just as Jesus has commanded us to do. This end of fiscal year video highlights that work.

We strongly encourage you to fill this out with your constructive ideas and feedback. It is an important practice to ask for feedback and we want to encourage the DOC in this work.

Your input matters! Have your voice heard! Please complete a survey about our visiting process. We want to hear from people who visit loved ones in our facilities.

Your feedback helps us understand what is working well and what we can improve to make the visiting experience better for everyone, and to understand how you have experienced the significant changes to our Visiting policy and processes put in place several months ago.

The survey is open until July 31 and only takes a few minutes to complete. Take the survey here: https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/019e8993d8f0795f88ef2a5c4aec981b
