From the streets of Los Angeles, a former gang member was transformed by a miracle of Gods grace. In hopes to reach out to the same kind of lost and hurting men he began the American Baptist Cook County Jail Ministry. Andy Gonzalez started a powerful ministry that inspired the lives of thousands including inmates, officers, and volunteers.
Even after Andys death in 1996, these miracles still continue through the Cook County Jail Ministry. Today, nearly 50 volunteers minister to jail inmates in 7 of 11 divisions at Chicagos Cook County Jail.

Wow, what a powerful inspiration. This is exactly why those of us in the prison ministry feel so blessed to be part of it.
