Would you believe that prison penpals still exist? There are hundreds of prisoners sending letters to regular people, and vice versa and this practice has been a huge source of hope for both people seeking comfort through words. There is no taboo in building a friendship with people behind bars, moreover helping them in the small ways that we can. Isn’t giving them a chance to build hope for everyone in the community as well?
The Hope behind Bars is a non-profit organization supported by a group of letter writers in various places across the globe. The group’s mission is to support Thai prisoners in various ways while they are still in prison and upon release. Life in prison is made more bearable with help sourced from donations and fundraising events like Movie Fundraisers, the first of which is happening this April.
Based on the book of the same name, the film follows youth minister Greg Laurie, Christian hippie Lonnie Frisbee, and pastor Chuck Smith as they take part in the Jesus movement in California during the late 1960s.
We welcome you to join us in the screening of this movie. We call it a fundraiser but it is really about aligning ourselves with the underlying themes of hope, love and acceptance.
We have only one screening session but unlimited seats available. This movie will challenge you and also help us to raise funds for those behind bars and beyond who need to hear this message too.
