New Birth Prison Ministries for Trinity Baptist Church, Arlington Texas

Newsletter: January 6, 2026

As we begin the new year, Janet and I want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering, prayerful support and financial contributions. Your contributions were pivotal to our mission last year, enabling us to enroll 188 new students in the Freedom Academy Seminary Extension program in 2025.

We are excited to share that approximately half of these students have made professions of faith since starting their studies. This transformative journey not only equips them with Biblical knowledge but also fosters personal growth and spiritual development through studies in God’s Word. We are deeply encouraged by the impact this program is having on their lives and the communities and churches they will one day serve. Thank you for being a part of this vital work!

This year, our mission remains stronger than ever: to bring the light of God’s Word and hope to those currently incarcerated in darkness and their families. We are excited to share new initiatives planned for 2026, including expanded Bible study programs, mentorship opportunities, and reentry support for returning citizens. Your prayers and financial gifts make these efforts possible.
We invite you to stay connected by inviting Janet and me to one of your services. We would love to come and share what God is doing through Freedom Academy and Sanctified Hope Transitional Home for women.

As the year ended, Janet and I had the privilege of conducting Bible studies in the chapel and Christmas Eve and church services on a Princess Cruise purchased for us as a Christmas gift. As a result, some professed faith in Christ, including four men from China. One individual from China stated that he had never understood the meaning of Christmas or why Christians celebrate it until he heard the Gospel of Christ and learned why He came into the world. Praise God for His magnificent grace!

May this new year bring you peace, joy, and renewed purpose. Thank you for being a vital part of the New Birth Prison Ministries family.
