“Then he touched my mouth with it and said, ‘See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.’ Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?’ And I said, ‘Here am I. Send me!’” – Isaiah 6:7-8 (NIV)
Hands of Hope Prison Ministry exists to empower and restore individuals impacted by incarceration. We strive to:
- Bridge the gap between the incarcerated and the community through compassionate listening, meaningful dialogue, and genuine human connection.
- Provide practical support by assisting with legal matters, facilitating communication, and connecting individuals with necessary resources both during and after incarceration.
- Cultivate hope and healing through spiritual guidance, prayer support, and opportunities for personal growth and self-expression.
- Showcase the humanity of incarcerated individuals by amplifying their voices through our “Prison Podcasts” series – where anyone is welcome to share their story – as well as through artwork, poetry, and other creative outlets on our social media platforms (YouTube, TikTok, and Twitter).
- Advocate for systemic change that promotes rehabilitation, reduces recidivism, and fosters a more just and equitable society for all.

“Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.” – Jeremiah 33:3 (NIV)
