Bringing Hope Behind Bars: The Power of a Birthday Card

A simple birthday card can be a lifeline to someone in prison. Many inmates feel forgotten, abandoned, and unloved. But when they receive a card—signed with care and filled with words of encouragement—it reminds them they are seen, valued, and not beyond God's love.

The Department of Corrections recognizes the power of positive encouraging mail. It can reduce isolation, inspire change, and even impact behavior. A birthday card is a seed of hope, and a reminder of God’s love.

God is using this simple act of kindness to bring light into a dark place.
