Annual Crusades
Prison Crusade weekends have an evangelistic focus. They include focused “seed planting” interaction between volunteers and inmates through fellowship in dorms, on the recreation yard, in confinement, and in cafeteria areas. As mainstream culture continues to turn away from God, the brokenness is reflected in a prison system that is overflowing with emotional and spiritual devastation. These weekends give evangelists, family teams, and volunteers the opportunity to bring hope to the devastated, as the Gospel of Jesus Christ is proclaimed.

2026 PRISON CRUSADE UPDATES
SOUTH CAROLINA – We are grateful for clearances that were granted, allowing us to resume outreach efforts in Columbia, SC, in 2026. In March we hosted a small-scale crusade consisting of chapel services in five prisons—our first in SC since 2019. In cooperation with facility guidelines, we had approximately ten approved volunteers serving at each location. We are thankful for the opportunity to once again minister within these settings and for the positive engagement that took place.
While specific dates and expanded plans have not yet been confirmed, we are hopeful for continued opportunities as permitted. We invite you to join us in prayer for favor, wisdom, and strong partnerships with prison officials as we look toward future growth.
HUNTSVILLE, TX – We look forward to another impactful crusade in Huntsville, TX, this year, and invite you to stay connected through our website and social media for updates.
MARIANNA, FL – Marianna, FL, continues to be our largest crusade. We are thankful for the impact God has allowed there and trust Him as He continues to guide our steps.
