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
One Day
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.
One Day That Lasts a Lifetime
I thought for sure being able to participate in the event, it was going to be the best day of my prison sentence, unfortunately I was wrong. It was the best day of my entire life!
My Teacher has Down-Syndrome
Every now and then, I like to veer off the usual path and shift the focus of my posts. Today, I want to reflect on a teacher. Do you remember a teacher in your childhood who stood out during your early years? For me, it was Mrs. Broman, my 2nd grade homeroom teacher....
The Power of the Father’s Legacy
At Forgiven Ministry, we encourage all dads, no matter how bruised and broken their past may be, to embrace the responsibility and privilege of passing on a blessing. In doing so, they begin to rewrite their family’s story, laying a foundation of love, worth, and belonging that will endure for generations.
