Impacting Lives
The Forgiven Ministry mission is nothing short of transforming lives! We are dedicated to meeting the spiritual, physical, and emotional needs of the children of inmates, the inmates themselves, ex-inmates, and inmates’ families. By healing the wounds inflicted by crime and empowering these individuals, we are able to redirect their lives and restore them as productive citizens, parents, and family members.
Lending a Helping Hand
At Forgiven Ministry, we believe that true transformation happens when we join hands and work together towards a common goal. Our volunteers are the heart and soul of our ministry, supporting us every step of the way – from daily planning to on-hands outreach. It is their dedication, passion, and unwavering commitment that empowers us to make a positive impact in the lives of those we serve.
“Withhold not good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.” – Proverbs 3:27

Meet Jarrell
If Forgiven Ministry could have a child that would represent all of our One Day with God children, then this little boy could be that child. It doesn’t take a lot to fill a child’s heart when they find the love and security of a parent, especially an inmate parent. This precious child was loved and felt special by his father all day. Could it be that Jarrell wanted to hold on to his balloon as long as he could knowing this day would be a special memory in his heart forever.
A Caregiver’s Story…
Yesterday, I had the privilege of attending the Caretaker side of the One Day with God event; I am SO proud that I could participate, and am so thankful for what everyone did for my children… it was emotional, but my heart needed it.
A Volunteer’s Story…
During the One Day With God Camp at Cotton Correctional, a couple of our volunteers brought a “Jesus and a lamb” figure as a simple gift. Such meshed well with our day of grace, hope, and connection. Ash’s reflections capture the true impact of the camp, and we’re excited to share her story
The Impact of a Dad…
When fathers are engaged, children are less likely to engage in risky behaviors and more likely to succeed in school and life. Such is the key to raising well-rounded, emotionally healthy children. By being present and engaged, fathers not only help shape their child’s future but also enjoy a fulfilling and meaningful relationship with them. It’s never too late for dads to make a positive impact in their children’s lives.
