Spreading Christ’s Hope to the Incarcerated
Faith Facts
- Good News Global will deliver 75,000 “Hope Packs” worldwide in 2024, reaching inmates, correctional staff, and families.
- The ministry partners with chaplains, churches, and donors to offer Gospel-centered encouragement, especially during the Christmas season.
- Each Hope Pack features devotionals, practical items, and a personalized Gospel message to foster spiritual growth among the incarcerated.
This faith-driven outreach seeks to counteract the isolation faced by incarcerated individuals, extending Christian love and practical care to over 170 correctional facilities in the U.S. and 20 nations. The project highlights the calling to serve the forgotten, reminding the incarcerated of their God-given value and dignity.
Good News Global’s chaplains and volunteers foster discipleship and spiritual support throughout the year, emphasizing that all are worthy of redemption in Christ. The ministry’s collaborative effort unites communities, reflecting the biblical calling to “remember those in prison” (Hebrews 13:3).
“Hope Packs represents our greatest direct Gospel outreach to incarcerated people and those impacted by incarceration,” said Jon Evans, president of Good News Global. “We can put the Gospel message in the hands of receptive inmates this Christmas.”
Inmates testify to the power of these resources, expressing how the included devotionals offer comfort and a renewed hope anchored in God’s promises. Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin praised the ministry’s compassion for seeing the value in every individual, echoing scriptural truth that every person bears God’s image and is loved by the Creator.
This growing initiative reminds believers of their biblical mandate to stand with the vulnerable, sharing the joy, peace, and freedom found in Christ even in the darkest places.
