Evening of Thanksgiving banquet

Celebrating Transformed Lives. Restoring Families. Sharing Christ.

For 32 years, our Evening of Thanksgiving Banquet has been more than an event — it has been a powerful celebration of hope, redemption, and lives transformed through Jesus Christ.

This is our largest annual fundraiser, and every year it gives us the opportunity to gather as a community to reflect on what God has done through prison ministry — and to look forward to what He will continue to do.

Lives Transformed

A Night of Stories That Matter

At this year’s banquet, you’ll hear firsthand accounts of how God is transforming lives through CPO.

Each story shared will reflect the deeper work happening every day — inside jails, our classes, and beyond.

These are not statistics.
They are living testimonies.

Stories of redemption where the world sees failure.
Stories of hope where darkness once prevailed.
Stories of grace that still changes everything.
