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

With God
“…I was in prison, and you visited me.”

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 Few Abilene Reflections…
Our latest One Day With God camp was in Abilene, Texas, and it was an incredible experience. One of the most remarkable aspects of the camp was the facility’s outstanding hospitality and seamless collaboration with our team. Below is a note from one of the leaders sharing their reflections on the experience.
Freedom Beyond Fences…
In this week’s blog, I’ve been asked to share a letter from one of our camp attendees. Her moving testimony captures the transformative power of our One Day With God camps and the hope that often is spawned in the midst of life’s struggles—being the daughter and sister of inmates. As she looks forward to joining us at the upcoming Whitworth camp in Hartwell, GA on March 8th, her words serve as a powerful reminder of why we do what we do.
A Super Bowl Fundraiser…
This past weekend, I had the privilege of traveling to Tennessee to speak at Mountain City Community Church. I was joined by my friend Dru Schneeberger, a dedicated Forgiven Ministry volunteer and leader in our Hickory Brother’s Night group for men. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with incredible kindness and hospitality.
