We had an awesome year in 2025. Over 200 residents and staff members lives were impacted and our annual "Adopt-A- Resident" Christmas project at Retama Manor North Nursing and Rehab Home was a huge success. We were able to give out over 114 presents for those who were able to attend the program in person, and we went room to room for those who were bedridden. We could not have done it without the generous contributions of our mission partners and sponsors such as Wal-Mart, Target, Costco, HEB, and our family & friends. In addition, we had two more doors opened to us to minister in two women's prisons in the Hobby Unit in Marlin, TX and the Coleman Unit in Lockhart, TX. We were able to minister to over 350 women in both facilities combined and we saw God work miracles! Women got healed, delivered and saved under the power God. We had the opportunity to travel out of state to serve as a part of presbytery for the installation of Apostle Sharon Tyson. We also attended a funeral and were part of the ceremony of a close family friend. It was homegoing celebration that was second to none
God of Hope Pen Pal Project:
Pen Pal volunteers will do this through words of encouragement based on Biblical truth, human connection and a reminder to the inmate that they are loved and valued by Christ. Further, we want to communicate to prison inmate that Jesus cares about them and that He has not forgotten them during their time in prison. Our ministry co-founder serves as a pen pal for women who want correspondence frequently throughout their prison sentence. She writes consistently throughout the year to 8 pen pals and has done so since 2021.
Women’s Storybook Project
Women’s Storybook Project of Texas (WSP) is a women’s prison program that connects children with their incarcerated mothers through the joy of literature. The primary goal of WSP is to reduce the rate of re-incarceration among incarcerated mothers by strengthening the mother-child connection through literature. This literature project requires volunteers to travel to Texas female prisons to record incarcerated mothers as they read stories to their children. These recordings provide a chance for children to hear their mother’s voice while they are away. Connecting the children and mothers’ helps provide a reason for the mothers to work hard not to return to prison. For the 3rd year in a row Kingdom Life Impact Ministry is also a servant for the Women’s Storybook Project in 2025, 66 mothers recorded books and over 100 books were mailed out to incarcerated families. Currently over 200 mothers are on a waiting list to read books to their children within the program.
