A Story of redemption
From inmate to disciple
Redeemed Prison Ministry was born from a personal story of transformation.
Our founder, John Holmes, once sat behind prison walls. Through repentance, discipleship, and the life-changing power of Jesus Christ, his life was radically restored.
Today, he returns to those same environments — not as an inmate, but as a messenger of hope.
Because redemption is not theory. It is lived experience.
