Hear from past team members

"Having an opportunity to play basketball in prisons has been an answer to our prayers! Prison Ministry in general is unlike any other kind of Ministry. And through Sports, we get a chance to bridge the gap between race, background, beliefs, and religion. Sharing the Good News of the Gospel with believers and non-believers is a GOD ordained mission and I have truly been Blessed because of this experience!"

Ray D.

Team Member

"Having the opportunity to visit those in prison and interact with them in a fun, team building way was a complete joy! I think of the faces of those women often. Playing a sport together allowed us to cheer one another on and build a relationship, that transitioned into open hearts to hear the beautiful message of the gospel. Truly an honor to participate!"

Brooke A.

Team Member

"After college I assumed my playing days were over, but ministering in prison through sports has allowed me to use my God-given talent and passion for sports as a way to glorify Him through spreading the gospel within prison walls by means of fellowship through sports."

Michael U.

Team Member

"Seeing inmates encounter God has strengthened my belief in the love and goodness of God. It made me realize on a deeper level that none of us deserve His mercy and grace but He gives it freely to everyone who turns to Him."
