REstorative Hope
We believe that the best place for families and individuals to thrive is within the local church. Restorative Hope churches welcome those returning from incarceration, and they minister to the families of those incarcerated.
“What church would want me?”
This is a common thought for many returning citizens. Restorative Hope churches understand, accept, and surround those coming home with the love and support of Christ.
“Don’t tell anyone…our son is in prison.”
Families of those incarcerated are burdened with shame and guilt. They need support, but are reluctant to ask. Restorative Hope churches provide a community of encouragement and hope these families so desperately need.

Cards for Prisoners
Many prisoners have no real contact with anyone on the outside. Families may have abandoned them, and friends fall away over time. Months, even years can go by without a visit. Imagine how meaningful a letter of encouragement and hope can be to these lonely individuals. Hundreds of penpals show Christ’s love with caring letters of inspiration.
