Inmate testimony received by email recently--"I played in the basketball tournament and I listened to the message and I got saved and they gave me a Bible that I still have and use. I'm trying to better myself it's not easy but I'm working at it and I love God because I know he is real!!!!!"
Praise the Lord!!

We are in need of a big van for our ITL basketball team to travel to 20 prisons this summer. Do you know of a personal or church van that will not be in use May 9-26?

SUMMER | Inside the Lines Inside the Lines was a great experience for me! I believe God orchestrated that trip at the perfect time in my life. Getting to know the team and making great memories that I will never forget. It was a great blessing to me not just because we had a great time but it was a blessing in a spiritual wa...

SUMMER | Inside the Lines Inside the Lines is looking for 7-9 college-age guys to travel for a few weeks at the beginning of the summer (May 8-26,2023).

Praise the Lord for open doors! When praying for direction He leads to the exact prison staff members we need to communicate with. I've been on the phone or emailing recreation directors all over the state of Ohio. Eleven of them didn't even hesitate and said it would be great for us to come in this fall. Phone call this morning took 4 mins for the staff to get on board. Best of all, most of them had never heard of a ministry like ours running an actual tournament. Going all over Ohio will be new for ITL...we've been there for one tournament a few years ago.

GOING BACK TO PRISON TODAY!

First time in 21 months!

Inside the Lines updated their address.

Another encouraging note from a male inmate who is corresponding with a church member from Taylors, SC.

I GET IT!! I REALIZE WHAT YOU MEAN WHEN YOU SAY LET GOD USE YOU WHERE YOU ARE. I WAS ON THE YARD AND I BEGAN TALKING TO A NEW BROTHER WHO WAS WORKING OUT. I STARTED TO WITNESS TO HIM AND GIVE HIM THE GOOD NEWS. HE ACCEPTED GOD RIGHT THAT DAY. WE WALKED THE YARD AND I WAS ABLE TO JUST TELL HIM MORE ABOUT JESUS'S SAVING GRACE AND WHEN I WAS DONE TALKING TO HIM ANOTHER PERSON TOLD ME THAT THEY WANTED TO TALK ABOUT GOD. I KNOW THAT I HAVE BEEN THROUGH WHAT I HAVE SO THAT GOD CAN USE ME.
THANK YOU FOR BEING THAT PERSON WHO SHOWED ME THAT I HAVE A PURPOSE, MORE THAN JUST WALKING, BUT BEING THE MESSSAGE THAT I BRING.
I WILL TALK MORE LATER.
YOU ARE INMY PRAYERS.
