Transforming lives, rebuilding neighborhoods, and helping men reenter society. #TRYworks

[Spectrum News 1 OH @SpectrumNews1OH]

A man who was once involved in selling drugs and substance abuse, started a reentry program dedicated to helping other former inmates become and stay productive — and it's working. Only 1 out of over 110 men returned to prison after participating. https://t.co/FCaJ7CUKpU

Prisoners and ex-prisoners need to see Christian principles modeled and demonstrated within the context of relationships, just as the disciples did with Christ. Jesus provides us with an excellent example of how to mentor. https://t.co/wc3KOuVJz7

This also applies to those who have been #incarcerated and are rejoining their communities -- invite them to join you, but also take the next step. Talk to them, find out who they are, bring them into the conversation. #prison #GLS19 #acceptance
