As we step into this new year, our hearts are overflowing with gratitude and celebration.

Behind prison walls, real transformation is happening. This past season, men and women committed to growth, faith, and purpose—and they reached powerful milestones worth celebrating.

Let’s celebrate the good things happening!

At the Clemens Unit, students completed all 16 TUMI modules, with a graduation planned for the end of January.

At the Huntsville and Pack Units, men are now halfway through the four-year journey, and one student is preparing to graduate from the full program—a testimony to perseverance and hope.

At the Wynne Unit, Spanish-speaking students have completed Fight the Good Fight and are stepping boldly into the Capstone curriculum.

And we are just getting started.

Looking ahead…

With great anticipation, we are prayerfully working toward a long-held dream: launching our first female TUMI class in 2026, extending hope, healing, and leadership to incarcerated women and their families.

We are also celebrating the ripple effect of this work beyond the classroom, as a TUMI alumnus, Jason Karch, has co-authored a devotional now touching incarcerated individuals and their loved ones with encouragement and faith. Check it out on Amazon here.
