Family Ties

Since the time spent with our young ones is limited, let’s do those things with them that will be remembered and thought about for years to come. Let’s take time out of our lives to claim a lost moment or to reclaim a new one that shows our kids how much we care. Real unconditional love comes without a price, It’s the sacrifice. Those of us who are supposed to be in our kids’ lives are not there the way we should or could be. Nothing will make a greater impact in a child’s life than him or her knowing unconditional love- and not just saying it, but showing it. Children are our greatest assets, so let’s look for every opportunity to bring them up in the fear and admonition of the Lord. If we want to cut recidivism down to size in this generation and in the next one, let’s start by prioritizing the raising of godly children first in our own family and then influence other families to do the same in theirs. Amen!

OATC is dedicated to the reconciliation and restoration of families who have been affected by the pain of incarceration and all the damage it does in the absence of a loved one. It was prophesied in Isaiah 61 and repeated by Jesus in Luke 4 that He came to heal the brokenhearted and set those bound by sin free to become all they were created to be in this world. He also called us to be ministers of reconciliation. That’s a winning combination when the Body of Christ comes together to love and restore those broken by sin and the broken receive all Jesus died to provide for His children.

If you need help, we’re here to extend a hand and our hearts to you and your family.
