"A Game Changer": Why this Chaplain Believes in Crossroads

John, a regional chaplain overseeing 110 chaplains across 40 prisons in Kenya, has witnessed the impact of the Crossroads program firsthand as people in the prisons he oversees give their lives to Christ and grow in their faith.

“Some even become leaders, discipling others inside and outside the prison walls,” he shared.

One story that stands out to him is that of Charles, a man convicted of murder. Charles embraced the Crossroads program, took on leadership responsibilities, and assisted John with coordinating the distribution of lessons for six years. Upon his release, he reunited with his wife and now serves as a church elder.

“Hearing how the church trusts him today is very encouraging,” John said.

Jack's Story: Finding Faith Behind Bars

By Paige Deur  |  July 1, 2024

Jack’s early life was fraught with neglect and emotional abuse. His parents were distant and dismissive, often prioritizing their free time over his well-being. As a child, video games became his primary companion, as he was rarely allowed to spend time with friends.

On his sixteenth birthday, his parents took him to McDonald’s. Instead of treating him to a celebratory meal, they left him there with a job application, demanding rent from his first paycheck.

Jack’s perception of family and faith, tainted by his upbringing, led to hardships and struggles as he became a husband and father. For years, he had been skeptical of Christianity, viewing it as restrictive and uninteresting.

Am I Making a Difference?

By Douglas Cupery

Seated at a reentry ministry’s breakfast event, I glanced around at the faces of those in attendance, my mind racing with memories. I saw friends, chaplains, and mentors who had been involved since the beginning of the reentry ministry twenty years ago. As I listened to the speakers, it became clear that many of the challenges faced by formerly incarcerated people remain unchanged. The personal and systemic societal obstacles we addressed years ago stubbornly persist. I leaned over and asked a friend, “Have we made a difference?”

Many of the volunteer mentors at Crossroads have asked me the same question. It is an understandable question to ponder as we endeavor to live out our faith in a broken world. One might easily conclude that our world’s challenges are insurmountable. I’ve been in conversations where people ask, “Why bother trying? I am just going to live my life.”
