Programs described in its return (3)
- In 2025, Not My Will Ministries successfully facilitated two full Cycle Workshops inside two separate Colorado correctional facilities, Arkansas Valley Correctional Facility and Centennial Correctional Facility. These workshops helped incarcerated men identify destructive patterns, confront distortions and limiting beliefs, and experience hope, healing, and personal breakthrough through the truth of the Gospel. Numerous written testimonials were received from participants sharing growth in accountability, freedom, emotional healing, and renewed purpose. These workshops also created momentum for ongoing recurring services and continued discipleship inside both facilities.
- During 2025, the organization expanded its volunteer base by adding more than a dozen new volunteers who now participate in prison outreach efforts. These volunteers entered correctional facilities to serve, encourage, pray with, and share their testimonies with incarcerated men. This growth significantly increased the organization's capacity to serve more participants, build stronger mentorship opportunities, and create a greater positive presence inside correctional environments through faith, compassion, and consistency.
- Not My Will Ministries also supported approximately six participants transitioning from incarceration back into the community by helping connect them with housing, employment opportunities, clothing, spiritual support, and healthy community relationships. Several of these men first engaged with the ministry while incarcerated and continue involvement after release, helping create long-term continuity of care and reducing the likelihood of returning to destructive cycles. In addition, the ministry shared its mission and founder's testimony at churches and events in South Carolina and Indiana, while developing relationships for future expansion opportunities, including outreach into Texas correctional facilities.
