Mission Moment

Hope Aglow
Hope Aglow Ministries helps people who are in jail learn about Jesus.
Every week, volunteers visit jails and prisons to sing, pray, and share how much God loves them.
They also give out Bibles so the men and women there can read God's Word for themselves.
The people who started this ministry and the man who leads it today were once in prison and that's where they learned about Jesus and had their lives changed!
Now they help others find that same hope. Hope Aglow reminds people that no one is forgotten by God.
