Lives Transformed
Our 32nd Annual Evening of Thanksgiving was a powerful reminder of what God can do when His people come together in faith, generosity, and service.
Together, we celebrated stories of transformation, reflected on God's faithfulness, and looked ahead to the opportunities before us as we continue sharing the Gospel, making disciples, and walking alongside incarcerated individuals, returning citizens, and their families.
Thank you to everyone who attended, sponsored, volunteered, prayed, and gave. This evening was a celebration of what God has done—and a reminder that there is still more work to do.

Celebrating What God Is Doing
This year's theme, Sowing Together, reflected the reality that life transformation is never the result of one person or one program.
It happens when churches, volunteers, donors, community partners, and ministry leaders faithfully invest in the lives of others.
Throughout the evening, we heard stories of hope, restoration, and second chances—powerful reminders that God continues to work in hearts, families, and communities across Chicagoland.
Because of your partnership, seeds of faith are being planted, lives are being restored, and futures are being rebuilt.
