HOPE International Ministries, Inc. is a "faith supported" 501 (c) (3) evangelical organization. Our mission is to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ into the prisons, jails, schools, churches, motorcycle and biker events, towns and villages of the world.

In America, 2.5 million people are incarcerated. There are 7 million people on parole, incarcerated or waiting to be sentenced. Over 2 million children have a parent or parents in prison. Half of those children will end up in prison one day. When the 2.5 million people started serving time it is estimated that as many as 10 million people were affected. Many families left without a provider are forced to turn to welfare to survive.

Many of America's prisoners will be released back into society every year. It is estimated that 600,000 will be release in 2004, back into our neighborhoods and cities of the US.

We have documented cases that our prisons have become a recruiting grounds for "terrorists" and other extreme religious groups. Our prisons are filled with people with a hate and contempt for America. These people are prime targets for conversion to an extreme religion that promotes hate, malice and contempt for Americans.

Of the 600,000 that will be released in 2004, over 70% will return to prison. Many will come out with hate, malice and contempt for America and a possible terrorist mindset.

Rehabilitation doesn't work. It has a 70% failure rate.

What works? When an inmate has a personal spiritual experience with Jesus Christ, the recidivism rate drops to between 10% and 14%. With proper aftercare the recidivism drops to below 10%

Rehabilitation: a 70% failure rate.

Redemption: a 90% success rate.

Real freedom comes from learning about God's plan for their lives through Jesus Christ. Prisoners released back into society with love, peace, forgivness and a Jesus Christ mindset.
