From Prison to Purpose: Ben Endress' Journey to Supporting Ex-Offenders
This is part 5 of a 5 part interview series highlighting the amazing work that is happening in Kewanee, Illinois, in regards to prison ministry and re-entry initiatives.

In this episode of 'Wrong to Strong,' host Omar Calvillo converses with Ben Endress, a successful business owner, and Ronnie Carrasquillo about their impactful prison ministry work. Ben shares how a poignant resume from a man with seven felonies ignited his mission to give ex-offenders a second chance. He recounts his journey from hiring a transformed inmate to developing a program that helps reintegrate formerly incarcerated individuals into society. They discuss the initiatives that provide housing, employment, and essential support to help these individuals land softly back into community life. Ben's faith-driven dedication and personal experiences reveal a broader perspective on redemption, forgiveness, and societal reentry challenges. Tune in for an inspiring dialogue on the power of second chances and transformation.
