Building Men of Valor - Raul Lopez & Genevieve Turner

March 30, 2023 • TheBassSisters • Season 4 • Episode 8

This week, #TheBassSisters highlight Men of Valor. A Tennessee-based Christian ministry that works with men in prison. Men of Valor is committed to winning men in prison to Jesus Christ and discipling them. Their purpose is to equip them to re-enter society as men of integrity – becoming givers to the community rather than takers.

According to Men of Valor, nationally, 70% of men released from prison will return to prison.

Raul and Genevieve share how through Bible-based programming, aftercare/re-entry services, and the involvement of committed staff and volunteers, Men of Valor’s success rate beats both national and statewide statistics. In fact, for men who complete Men of Valor’s 6-month program inside the prison and 12-month program outside the prison, the recidivism rate is below 15%.

If 98% of prisoners will someday be released, we must do more than talk about restoration and second changes. Learn more at MOVMinistry.org.
