How Loss Tragedy and Difficult Circumstances have Impacted my Faith by, Erika East

Posted by Jackie Halstead | April 25, 2018

When i think about how my life has been affected by loss, tragedy, and difficult circumstances, it seems to be almost too easy to look at how prison has impacted my life, my faith in a negative way. Oddly, this is not the case. Prison has been a loss and tragedy by the people that have suffered because of ...READ MORE »

“Truisms” by Tabitha

Posted by Jackie Halstead | April 17, 2017

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.

Blessing Business by, Tabitha

Posted by Jackie Halstead | March 27, 2017

These last couple of months have been great! God has showed me in many different ways that He’s still in the blessing business. I have great family support and I am so thankful for that.

Sunrise and Sunset by, Donna

Posted by Jackie Halstead | February 28, 2017

Since October of 2015, we here at TPFW have heard of many changes. Ranging from getting new administration from the commissioner’s office to include wardens and shift captains.

Donna’s Story, Part Two

Posted by Jackie Halstead | August 24, 2016

Donna again contributes to our blog. I asked her the following questions: “How did you come to know Christ?” or “How do you hang on to Christ while in prison?” I recently attended the Kairos Walk. It’s a spiritual awakening or what I like to call Woodstock for Jesus. We had several sharing groups – a time of eating, discussions, ...READ MORE »

Meet Erika. She is an inmate who is serving out her time in prison. She is a very special person with a heart for helping others. When I consider my spiritual journey, I find myself lacking in so many areas it is often easier for me to focus on my mistakes and not think about my journey at all. At ...READ MORE »
