Thanks so much for this account of healing and transformation. "And a little child shall lead them." I'm a chaplain's assistant in our local county jail, and have in recent months become aware of a wonderful nonprofit, Project Avary, which, coincidentally, has its office directly across the street from our branch church! It provides support, mentorship, and summer camp experiences to children of incarcerated parents--to help break the cycle of generational incarceration. They have rolled out a new program that's really quite amazing: teens in their program go into the jail and meet with incarcerated parents to tell them what an effect the absence of their own parent/s has had in their lives, and to share helpful ways the inmates can be more connected to their own children. Also, our branch church regularly adopts a congregational "prayer focus" on a specific community or national issue, and it's gratifying for us to be praying currently about "Breaking cycles of material belief regarding parentage."
