On Friday February 25th 2011, the Celebrate Recovery Inside Inmate leadership team made up of a diverse group inmates presented certificates to over 75 graduates for completing the CR 8 week program for parole violators. Over 250 new inmates were in attendance. The inside team signed nearly 150-175 new attendees to CR Inside at JCI.

The team also wrote, produced and directed and performed the first recovery original play from "Ashes to Beauty". Wow, it was moving, evangelistic and brilliant! Both inmates and officers participated.

Aaron Bennett and Joe Parren are leaders God is using to do the incredible.

The CRI program at JCI in Maryland is inmate lead. These brothers are being healed from life dominating habits and hang ups. Their relationships are being healed; and God is bringing healing and wholeness where there was pain hopelessness and despair. Isaiah 61..our inmate friends are now "oaks of righteousness a planting of the Lord ..all for Gods glory!

Thank you for your continued prayers and support!
