Speak Up for Hope
is a nonprofit organization that seeks
to live out the principle of Proverbs 31:8-9, MSG
"Speak up for the people who have no voice,
for the rights of all the down-and-outers.
Speak out for justice.
Stand up for the poor and destitute."
To accomplish this mission, we will:
- Assist churches and organizations in adopting a prison near them.
- Work with the chaplains to supply encouragement spiritually, emotionally, and financially.
- Network educators with prison chaplains to provide GED programs, marriage and family classes, vocational training, and college credit programs that will give purposeful living to prisoners.
- Connect business professionals with soon-to-be-released inmates to offer job opportunities that offer a fresh start.
- Cooperate with existing prison ministries that share our goals.
This ministry is born out of Carol and Gene Kent's
experiences with their own son.
