Hello Family!
As the holiday season approaches and we give thanks for God’s faithfulness, we’re excited to share the latest from Epiphany Life Change. This fall, we’re excited to highlight two powerful ways you can get involved in our mission to bring real change, real hope, and lasting impact to the incarcerated and their families: our new Prison Adoption Program and Giving Tuesday. Choose one or both!
Announcing the Prison Adoption Program
We’re thrilled to introduce our new Prison Adoption Program, designed to partner with churches to bring ELC’s transformative programming into prisons across Texas. This program makes it easy for your church to serve: ELC provides approved resources, a framework to navigate within, and introductions to prison units—all you need to do is gather volunteers and show up!
As our executive director, Sharon Browatzke, has said, “This program is about meeting the needs of those in prison”, and our goal is to support those churches who have prison ministry on their hearts.
This is an incredible opportunity for your congregation to make a direct impact. Even if your church can’t adopt a prison, you can still make a difference—contact us for a conversation to learn more.
Giving Tuesday: Dec 2nd
Please prayerfully consider supporting the ministry of ELC this Giving Tuesday. Every gift goes directly to transforming the lives of both the incarcerated individuals and their families.
Here are some ways to give:
- $10 covers the curriculum for a 3-day Encounter Weekend for one inmate.
- $50 covers food and curriculum for a 3-day Encounter Weekend for an inmate.
- $250 covers a couple attending a Marriage Retreat on the Inside, strengthening their bond despite incarceration.
Donate here and be part of this life-changing work.
Thank You for Being Here
We’re deeply grateful for your prayers, support, and partnership.
Together, we’re being the hands and feet of Jesus to those whom society has thrown away.
God bless you and keep you,
Pastor Charles Anderson and The ELC Team
