OUR MINISTRY
We’re on a mission to turn death row into LIFE row.
Through monthly visits to Texas and other outreach initiatives, we help lead death row inmates to Christ, equip them to live the Biblical Forgiveness Mandate, and support inmate Field Ministers and Lifers through the Life+Wish Program.
WHY WE DO IT
No matter the circumstance, I believe everyone everywhere can live a forgiven and forgiving life.
Brutally stabbed and left for dead by my attacker, I did something the Enemy never expected – I forgave him. After winning my fight to forgive my attacker, my son and I began traveling to prisons around the nation to share our testimony with prisoners and death row inmates.
Each year, more than 600,000 inmates return to society from prisons around the nation. We believe that if God gets ahold of their lives inside prison – leading them to a place free from shame, guilt, and bitterness – families and communities on the outside will be impacted for generations to come.

Our death row ministry outreach initiatives
Learn about the various initiatives you can contribute to if you feel called to help us bring life to death row.
-
During these seminars, we walk inmates through an all-day forgiveness workshop called Re✝ell Your Story. This experience joins biblical teachings and lessons from my own fight to forgive to help inmates break free from the shackles of their sins and scars and step into a forgiven and forgiving life.
-
In prisons across the nation, chaplains and Field Ministers have accepted Christ into their lives by becoming ordained. To support their efforts in spreading the Biblical Forgiveness Mandate deeper into prisons, our Barnabas + Paul Initiative provides mentoring, encouragement, and the resources necessary for effective peer-to-peer ministry.
-
Through virtual field trips, outside world experiences, and acts of kindness, the Life+Wish Program was founded to grant wishes to Lifers and Field Ministers. We believe that these experiences can help bring the freeing power of forgiveness to those who need it most.
-
Each episode produced tells the story of one of our Life+Wish recipients and is accessible by over 300,000 inmates across the nation as a way of creating a sense of community and discipling the incarcerated in hopes of spreading the love and redemption of Jesus.
“The easiest thing we as people can do is to quit. Quit on ourselves, on the people who love us, and those we do life with. Forgiveness is a hard thing. I appreciate you for being brave and vulnerable enough to show us all what this truly looks like.”
Damon, death row inmate
“I thank you for being open and the light that we need to see from behind these walls. Your strength and heart are something that only God can give, but you have shown anyone who is on this Earth that forgiveness is the true path of our walk with God.”
Garcia, death row inmate
“Those of us in prison have experienced abuse, betrayal, neglect… trauma is part of the baggage we carry. Your ministry is invaluable to us. May God continue to increase your sphere of influence and reach deep into the hearts and souls of those who come across your ministry.”
Chuong, death row inmate
