We Need a Bigger Ladder!

We need a bigger laddder to reach our funding target. Year end donations often make up a significant percentage of our budget.

Where Else Would You Rather Be?

We have a great team of volunteers serving the men on the Drug & Alcohol Treatment Tier at Central Booking in Baltimore City but sometimes when you look around at the conditions of the tier and the men I start to question, why am I doing this? The answer of course is Jesus Christ.

The Correlation between Addiction & Incarceration

We ask that you pray for the victims of drink driving accidents and for their families but at the same time pray for society to value the criminals, the addicts and the alcoholics that God might use them despite their sin for salvation and Kingdom works while here on Earth.

Books, Bibles & The Word!

We will enter a tier for Bible Study with Bibles, Jesus Calling Books, and composition books and will literally be overrun with demand for something meaningful to read. To brings books inside, we must use these clear plastic bags and each title must be approved in advance. It makes me smile when we return and find guys who have marked up their Bibles, folded back pages in books, and come with questions about what they have read.

Good News but Big Needs

unCUFFED needs your help! We need Christian men and women that are willing to give one hour per week to work with incarcerated boys or girls. We don't need theologians or well equipped experts. We only need servants willing to be dedicated in showing the unconditional love of Jesus Christ.

Koinōnia – Partnership

Project JumpStart is an 87-hour pre-apprenticeship training program that provides intensive classroom and hands-on training to Baltimore City residents every year. Their mission is to train low-income city residents to enter the building trades on a construction career track that will help them advance beyond the entry-level.

Reentry Rap @ HUM
