NEW: read a letter from one of our boys who was recently released

More than 2.5 million juveniles are arrested annually. In the state of Florida alone, there are approximately 25,000 juveniles incarcerated every year. The existence of these children is virtually unknown. Many have never met their mother or father. For others, their parents are in prison themselves. Some of these children get started on hard drugs as a result of their parents being addicts. Some young girls have gotten pregnant by a family member. Many have never had a birthday party or received a Christmas present. They don't know what it is like to feel the love of a mother or father. Behind the locked doors and high walls of prison are the hearts of desperately hurting children,who need to hear about Jesus Christ. Our Mission: to "reflect the light of Christ Jesus to every juvenile offender and their families." "But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me." Acts 26:16-18
