Learn how The Principle Foundation gives former inmates money to help them after release — Watch video for details! https://lightinprison.sharethepractice.org/2020/02/18/learn-how-the-principle-foundation-gives-former-inmates-money-to-help-them-after-release-watch-video-for-details/ https://lightinprison.sharethepractice.org/2020/02/18/learn-how-the-principle-foundation-gives-former-inmates-money-to-help-them-after-release-watch-video-for-details/#comments Tue, 18 Feb 2020 23:52:05 +0000 https://lightinprison.org/?p=3716

If you watch our videos, you already know there are people inside prisons and jails who actively study Christian Science and apply it to their everyday lives.

For many, there are no family members or friends to turn to after they’re released. Our rapidly expanding corresponding chaplain program can provide continuing spiritual support. But, no one to help financially…that is, until now.

Watch this video to learn how The Principle Foundation, (a Christian Science benevolence organization) is now eager to provide short-term grants and needed supplies so that returning citizens can more quickly integrate back into society, start attending a Christian Science church, and meet people–like you–who will inspire them to move onward and upward.

This is definitely a resource to know about! Please feel free to share any ideas you have on this or other site-related topics. You can leave them in the “Comment” area under the video. Thanks for watching!

Released from prison with few resources, how do you make it? Listen to Cornell’s story… [Video] https://lightinprison.sharethepractice.org/2019/08/12/released-from-prison-with-few-resources-how-do-you-make-it-listen-to-cornells-story-video/ https://lightinprison.sharethepractice.org/2019/08/12/released-from-prison-with-few-resources-how-do-you-make-it-listen-to-cornells-story-video/#comments Mon, 12 Aug 2019 21:18:55 +0000 https://lightinprison.org/?p=3612

Have you wondered what it might be like to be released from prison–after years on the inside–and have to figure out how to survive on the outside?

In this special video you’ll meet Cornell, a man who found Christian Science in prison. We think you’ll agree, his story is a remarkable one.

As always we’re interested to hear what you think. So we invite you to leave a comment and tell us your own story (or share what inspires you) for others to read.

Welcome Home, Welcome to our Church – Part 3: Are you willing to be a home for those coming out of prison? [Video] https://lightinprison.sharethepractice.org/2017/11/13/are-you-willing-to-be-a-home-for-those-coming-out-of-prison/ https://lightinprison.sharethepractice.org/2017/11/13/are-you-willing-to-be-a-home-for-those-coming-out-of-prison/#comments Tue, 14 Nov 2017 01:45:40 +0000 https://lightinprison.org/?p=3266

If you had just been released from prison after serving 10, 20 or 30 years, you’d find the challenges awaiting you might be overwhelming.

When incarcerated you have little control over your daily life. And once outside you have to make good life choices in a world you probably don’t recognize.

Even those who have studied Christian Science on the inside can be overwhelmed when they’re released.

This video is designed to help you help them once they get out and visit your church. And in fact, there’s a lot you can do as you’ll see in this instructive video.

And as always you’re invited to leave a comment or tell us your own story. We love hearing from you.

If you’d like to learn more about about the Root & Rebound organization mentioned in this video, they have some excellent guides and toolkits for those interested in reentry work.
