This Christmas season, we celebrate the greatest gift of all, hope. Because of Christ, light shines in the darkest places, love reaches across every barrier, and restoration is always possible. May your Christmas be filled with peace, joy, and the reminder that no one is beyond hope.

This is one of the many homemade Christmas cards we receive from inmates all over the country. We think we encourage them, but our team finds so often that the opposite is true. One card, one letter can make all the difference in one life! #1card1letter1life

We want to thank Douglas UCC for the warm welcome we received, the opportunity to share an update on our programs, the many new pen pals that signed up, and the food and fellowship we shared!
