Awana Lifeline
equips churches and parents to build a legacy of hope in Christ for children of inmates.
Left unchecked, generations repeat the mistakes modeled to them at a young age. Parental incarceration creates unique challenges for those left behind.
In the vacuum of strong family leadership, children and their caregivers experience financial instability, material hardship and unstable family relationships.(a) School performance suffers and behavioral problems develop along with a sense of shame and social stigma.(b)
The cost is great, not only to these families, but to society as well. The cost to taxpayers is roughly $23,876 a year per inmate.(c)
Our goal is to restore leadership within the family, provide hope and purpose for inmates and break this generational cycle.
In the end – Awana Lifeline equips churches and parents to build a legacy of hope in Christ for children of inmates.
