A MILESTONE WORTH MEETING


Greetings!


We are proud to announce that we have reached the milestone of completing 3,000 Bridges To Life projects since inception! A "project" is how we refer to our 14-week program when conducted at any facility. Within a single project, participants are divided into groups of 10 with two BTL volunteers assigned to each group. Completing 3,000 BTL projects means there have been approximately 42,000 weekly sessions of our program, and 168,000 small group meetings within those sessions!


What do these numbers tell us? That Bridges To Life is succeeding in its mission to help the incarcerated change their minds and heal their hearts so that after prison they do not return to their former lives of crime.


None of this would be possible without the faithful support of those who donate their time, talent and treasure to Bridges To Life. We pray that you will continue moving forward with us as we complete our next 3,000 projects!


Gratefully,

John Sage, Founder & CEO

Jim Buffington, COO

HEAR YE! HEAR YE!

A VOLUNTEER'S WORDS

It is not only our graduates that benefit from the BTL program, our volunteers do, too, as this one recently told us:


"Meeting with these female inmates has changed my life. It's such a blessing to see how they go from being like a coal in the darkness to a bright flower that touches my heart.


They probably think I’m helping them,

but they are helping me."
