Welcome to SafeHaven of North Mississippi.
I have heard men crying out, not for comfort, prestige, or entitlement, but for what many of them have never had--love, whether it be in church or family. Above all, these men long for a relationship with God. To them, Christian discipleship is not merely an individual matter, but an issue of community.
These men are troubled, without question ,but they value the same desires everyone does. Safety for their wives and children, viable relationships that can enrich their lives and a sense of well being that comes from taking true responsibility. Even though most of these men have little or no understanding on how to become people that can achieve these goals, the desire is still there!
These men have paid a debt to society, a debt that they must pay due to crimes that they have committed, but prison, while serving the correct capacity of punishing wrongdoing does not give these men the skills that is needed to take responsibility for their lives or families. Ultimately, their help can only come from God. The question is ; how can they know if no one is there to tell them ? If you listen closely, you will hear their cry.
