Our Mission
Our mission is to meet the spiritual, physical and emotional needs of the children of inmates, the inmates themselves, ex-inmates and inmates’ families, with the result of healing wounds inflicted by crime, redirecting lives, and restoring these individuals into the community as productive citizens, parents and family members.
To Bring Our Programs Into Every State with
State Leaders and Volunteers to Carry Out Our Mission
Forgiven Ministry recognizes the importance of preventing at-risk children from turning to gangs, drugs, and crime. Research has shown that up to 70% of children of inmates end up in prison themselves. By investing in programs that provide support and guidance to these children, Forgiven Ministry is breaking the cycle of incarceration and creating a brighter future for the next generation.
Our Vision
Reaching, Reconciling and Restoring Lives is our purpose. By encouraging change from within the individual, we can reduce recidivism, stop the cycle of crime, avoid the waste of human capital, and lessen the burden that offenders and their families place on society.
Reconciling inmates with their families and with God is the most promising way to bring about change from within. Surrounding inmates and their families with unconditional love from a supportive Christian community, at the camps and in the follow-up programs, can truly make a difference… that to some would seem impossible. Forgiveness makes this reconciliation possible. “Where there is no vision, the people perish…” – Proverbs 29:18
