“When I started to read the brochure a girl gave me downton in the city center, I had to sit down, it spoke to exactly what I was going through. I felt like it was a letter God had written directly to me”.

“Ever since you have been here this place hasn’t been the same. The message of Christ that you shared has not only impacted the inmates but the guards and administrators as well”.
PRISON DIRECTOR | RIO GRANDE DO SUL
“This date will surely be remembered in my memory and in my heart. the day that a group of Americans, whom I might even call them angels, have arranged to come to a penitentiary, where much of society wants to stay away, they came to give their personal testimony, to present themselves theatrically to demonstrate God’s love. I wanted to thank everyone without exception. I’ll introduce myself to you just by my first name. My name is Alexander, and I wanted to thank you who made this day the best day of the approximately 242 days that I find myself secluded here in this penitentiary. You have been able to awaken in me something, that perhaps I had no more, that is hope. God has bigger plans for me. I could be writing about you several pages, but I will abbreviate my words in a simple and simple Thank you !!

“You don’t know my friend, this city has descended into hell in recent years. The crime and violence are out of control. Our children are being killed. 7-year-olds are being given guns and told to shoot and kill. You can’t imagine. We need you, we need men like you to do this, to tell us about Jesus. The “churches” offer us nothing. The greedy pastors just beg for money, the rest do nothing.. We need you and what you are doing here.”

“Up until this point I don’t know if I can say that I believed in God, I hate the sense I get from ‘church’, but being around you guys, I know that I am missing something big in my life, so I will do everything I can to find what… or Who it is”.

ACTIVITY DIRECTOR, MANILA CITY JAIL, MANILA PHILIPPINES
“I want you to know that I’ve never seen anything like it. I have been with these men for a long time, their sorrow is so deep that it leads many to insanity or worse. This “show” is remarkable. I’ve never seen them so happy. They really needed to laugh again. It’s like you took them from here to someplace beautiful. I can not imagine how hard you should work to do this. The training involved must be overwhelming. “
PRISON COORDINATOR, SOUTHERN BRAZIL
