In the Murray Unit's faith dorm, 25 college students from Highland Baptist Church participated in classes, sharing testimonies, leading worship, and celebrating the release of two alumni after decades of incarceration. This powerful connection continues to impact both the students and the incarcerated women, demonstrating God's transformative work through shared experiences and prayer.

Andrea's Story: Surrender

Andrea’s story at D.U. Ranch highlights God’s faithfulness as she committed to her recovery, saved for a car, and shared her journey with other incarcerated women. Despite the heartache of being separated from her children, she experienced the joy of reuniting with them on Mother’s Day, a moment of answered prayer.

July 2024: Odyssey

Odessey’s story shows the transformative power of Discipleship Unlimited. Once homeless and incarcerated, she found hope in our faith dorm program and came to The Ranch in 2022. Initially unmotivated, she cared for baby kangaroos and received dentures from a Christian dentist. Fast forward two years—Odessey is now the assistant manager of a Little Caesar's, has lost 100 pounds, paid off her car, and rents her own home. She also mentors women in the same prison dorm where she once stayed. Her life is truly transformed inside and out.

The Ruth Project is Reaching Completion!

The eight teaching and testimony segments filmed live at Woodman State Jail are powerful. They are available on DVD.  Dee Brestin, best-selling author and teacher, is a captivating speaker. Terry Strom and I share our stories of redemption. Segments of Karla Faye Tucker filmed in the months before her execution challenge women to go deep in their walk with God.  Karla was redeemed by Jesus Christ, and her journey of 14 years on the row is presented as a parallel to the rescue of Ruth.

One woman who works with incarcerated women wrote:

I wept as I watched the DVD because to me it was an answered prayer, first prayed in 2001!  To have a video that relates to incarcerated women is so deeply affirming!

A study guide written by Dee will be given to each participant. The DVD sets and study guide will be completed in April. Your gifts make it possible for us to freely give study materials to those in our dorms and classes. We also plan to make this study available to pre-release centers and homeless shelters. Please pray for continued resources as we expand our vision.

Dee and I will be interviewed on Moody Radio Midday Connection March 30, at noon. Check out the program and listen in!
