A Global Impact to Help People Returning Home from Incarceration.
From Prison Walls
to Servant's Heart
John's story is one of second chances, personal growth, and the power of transformation. His life before prison was one of struggle, marked by missteps and wrong choices that led him down a path he wished he could have escaped. Yet, within the confines of those prison walls, he found the spark to ignite a change—a decision that would alter the trajectory of his life forever.
When John was released from prison, he stepped into a world that was both familiar and unfamiliar. He was determined to leave his old life behind, but he was acutely aware of the stigma attached to being an ex-convict.
Through Summit Point Restorative, a program that supports justice-involved individuals, John found housing and purpose in his retirement years, living in the transitional housing provided by Summit Point. At Summit Point he could afford to live on his Social Security.
John's new perspective on life has shaped the way he interacts with the world. He approaches each day with a sense of purpose, focusing on how he can serve others. He became part of the ministry, where he quickly established himself as a valued member of the team, recognized for his reliability, empathy, and tireless work ethic. He would reach out to others to check on how they were doing and encourage them to stay positive.
John also started volunteering with are homeless program. He would often say, "I know what it's like to feel invisible, to feel like the world has given up on you. If I can help even one person feel seen and valued, then I know I’m doing something right." His compassion and dedication did not go unnoticed, and he became a mentor to others who were struggling to find their footing.
John's life today is a far cry from what it was before his incarceration. He has built a meaningful existence dedicated to helping others and creating positive change. His journey is a powerful reminder that transformation is possible, even in the face of the greatest challenges.
Through resilience, self-awareness, and a willingness to serve, John has turned his life around. His story is not just one of redemption—it is a call to action for all of us to see the potential for change in everyone, no matter their past. John’s life stands as a beacon of hope, proving that with the right mindset and support, we can all rise above our circumstances and make a difference in the world.
