The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners. Isa 61:1 I knew I needed to go back in to prison!

The Power of Community in sharing love
Building Stronger Connections Behind Bars
At Rough Road Ministry, we believe that community plays a vital role in showing love. Engaging with those who are incarcerated, enhance spiritual growth and provide support for those behind bars.
It only makes sense... introduce inmates to Jesus and connect them to the local church by providing them with the Gospel, spiritual guidance, and community support to foster hope, transformation, and a path to successful reintegration into society.
our Prayer
Welcome to Rough Road Ranch
Working Ranch
One of our prayers is to have a safe house away from the city, a working ranch and animal rescue. There will be shared chores for those chosen to learn to care for the animals and learn additional life skills. On this ranch we plan to have various types of wild life in addition to horses that will be used to provide equine therapy. In order to generate income in this area, the ranch will welcome others to pay to board their horses on property. The ranch will be an excellent way to encourage work ethic while drawing closer to God. This will be a Christ-center ranch with discipleship and mentoring ingrained in every step towards healing. Our dream is to also have a low security Rehabilitating program that provides hope and change.
