What’s your favorite Bible Verse? Isaiah 1:18 “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” This verse reminds me that God’s mercy and forgiveness are available to everyone who comes to Him in repentance. It reflects my belief that no one is beyond God’s grace, which is why I am passionate about serving those in jail and sharing the hope of transformation through Christ.“
At which facility do you serve? Baltimore County Detention Center
Why did you decide to volunteer inside the jails? I decided to volunteer inside the jail because the Bible teaches that no one is beyond redemption. Saul of Tarsus, who once persecuted and killed Christians, became the Apostle Paul, one of the greatest preachers of the Gospel after encountering Christ. His transformation reminds me that God can change anyone’s life. Many people in jail have made poor decisions at some point, but they still have the potential to change, make a positive impact, and fulfill God’s purpose for their lives. I want to be part of sharing that hope and encouraging them on their journey of transformation.
What skills do you have that make you successful in your service? One skill that has helped me be successful in my service is compassion. I try to listen without judging, treat everyone with respect and dignity, and show Christ’s love through my words and actions. I also recognize that people face spiritual battles. Romans 7:19 says, “For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.” This reminds me that we all struggle and need God’s grace. It helps me approach others with humility, patience, and compassion rather than criticism, encouraging them with God’s Word and supporting them in their spiritual growth.
What will change the climate of youth violence in Baltimore? I believe the climate of violence in our communities can change when we address both the physical and spiritual needs of people. Showing love, compassion, and respect, providing mentorship and opportunities, strengthening families, and sharing hope through the Word of God can help transform lives. Teaching children to show love and care for others early in life. When people feel valued, supported, and experience God’s love, it can break cycles of anger, hopelessness, and violence.
