Also please pray for our Christmas in September Trunk Sale fundraiser set for Sept. 10th, 2011.
Statistics show there are 2.3 million Americans in prison. This year alone, more than 600,000 of them will be released back to our communities. And within three years, two-thirds of them will be arrested for new crimes against new victims.
The fastest-growing prison population in the United States is women. Yet, resources and services for females are not growing at the same rate. These numbers are a call to prayer. Each number reflects a person, life, and story. Every number has behind it a past, and in front of it, a future. Our prayers and our obedient actions call upon an Almighty God to shape that future in accordance with His will.
