Your prayers and support are bringing God’s message of hope to people in the U.S. prison system. In 2017, American Bible Society partnered with Good News Jail and Prison Ministry to train prison chaplains in Bible-based trauma healing ministry, which combines Scripture’s restorative message with mental health best practices. Now Christ’s love is changing lives in some of the most hopeless places in our nation.

This new ministry partnership meets a vital need as 97 percent of incarcerated women and 75 percent of incarcerated men experienced trauma prior to their incarceration. Through your faithful support, God’s Word is going forth to break cycles of trauma, violence, and incarceration, bringing hope and a future to hurting inmates across the United States.
