Pater Reach Foundation takes the gospel, Bibles, and discipleship programs directly into correctional facilities — because Jesus came to set every captive free.
Comprehensive, sustained ministry to incarcerated individuals — bringing the full gospel experience inside correctional walls.
We distribute complete Bibles, New Testaments, and Study Bibles to inmates who have never owned a personal copy. Each Bible is inscribed with a message of hope and a prayer for the recipient. Over 500 Bibles distributed across 12 facilities — each one a seed of transformation planted in a willing heart.
Anointed evangelists bring the full gospel message directly to incarcerated audiences — salvation, healing, identity in Christ, and the power of God to transform any life regardless of past. Altar calls are held at every service; we have recorded over 200 documented salvations in the last three years of ministry.
"The New You" three-edition discipleship series is facilitated in small groups inside correctional facilities. New believers receive their own copy of the workbook and are guided through foundations of faith, identity, prayer, and the Holy Spirit — building a solid Kingdom foundation from inside prison walls.
Weekly Bible study classes and theological foundations courses equip inmates to grow in knowledge and become spiritual leaders within their prison communities. Several graduates of our program now lead active Bible study groups inside their facilities without our direct involvement — self-sustaining Kingdom cells.
Pastoral counsellors walk alongside inmates dealing with deep trauma, grief, shame, abuse histories, and identity crises. We provide genuine presence and the healing power of the gospel — not lectures but relationship. Many report that being truly listened to by another person for the first time is itself transformative.
We begin the re-entry conversation 3–6 months before release — connecting inmates with local churches, Christian community networks, vocational training referrals, and Pater Reach mentors. Our goal is zero days without community: every released individual walks out with a name, a phone number, and a place to belong.
Every number represents a real person — someone who encountered the love of God and will never be the same.
