The Impact of Changed Lives
We were founded because of a desire for restoration. Over 20 years ago, we were invited into the Louisiana State Prison – commonly known as Angola. The inmates there were hungry for Biblical truth and were seeking tools to deepen their faith. From that initial visit grew what is now known as Lifeline Global.
Lifeline Global Ministries works to restore and equip incarcerated men and women to become godly parents so that the generational cycle of incarceration can be broken.
We work to teach and shepherd incarcerated women and men into becoming the godly parents they are meant to be – that they can be through the transforming power of the Gospel. We work with prisons and penitentiaries, churches and communities, volunteer groups and individuals to equip, resource, and transform lives.
Malachi Dads
Millions of children nationwide are growing up without fathers. Malachi Dads tackles this epidemic by challenging and teaching incarcerated men to be godly fathers and build a legacy of faith in Christ.
Hannah’s Gift
This program works to bring restoration and teaches incarcerated women to be godly mothers. A flourishing community of women who are learning to have healthy relationships with their children, and to parent from a distance.
Returning Hearts Celebration
The Returning Hearts Celebration event is a one-day event at select facilities that allows families to be reunited and come together. It’s a day where inmates can reunite with their families and be real parents to their children.
International Ministry
We are pleased to partner with ministries and organizations in several countries to bring our programs to incarcerated mothers and fathers who are waiting for hope.

Lifeline Global, along with our Program Partners, is making an impact in 35 states and is continually expanding into new regions.
Our Need Grows
We have reached thousands of incarcerated fathers and mothers, and your generosity has been essential to growing our mission. But even more need our help to repair their relationship with God and with their families.
Friends – your increased commitment will help us overcome the new challenges we are facing – more expenses, economic pressures, and reduced support from grants and other philanthropic resources.
