Incarcerated Father Hugs His Children
In a video that God Behind Bars recently published, an incarcerated father shared how much he missed his kids after spending so much time apart. The father said that in the future, he wanted to be a better role model for the kids. Additionally, the moment was eagerly anticipated by a large number of people. And when that happened, practically everyone became emotional.
These kids couldn’t contain their excitement over spending the day with their father. In fact, they were constantly repeating, “We are going to see daddy today,” while they were traveling in the car.

He was able to get back together with his children through the help of God Behind Bars.
They wrote in the caption, “These moments are what change a child’s life forever. Reconnecting a child with their dad and strengthening the relationship, we believe, helps stop the cycle of incarceration in a family. This moment changes everything. This is the love of Jesus. This is agape love.”

God Behind Bars Ministry
“Since 2009, God Behind Bars has partnered with churches around the country to transform the lives of prison inmates and their families. Most prisoners—as many as 92% of all incarcerated individuals—will be released back to society at some point, and 75% of them will return to prison within three years. We address this problem with a unique three-step approach that focuses on the physical, spiritual, and relational needs of inmates and their families.
By inviting God into prison and showing His love in tangible ways, God Behind Bars is restoring lives, building faith, fighting addictions, reconnecting families, and giving thousands of inmates hope for the future.” – God Behind Bars
