Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his call to love through action. At Tangible Hope Ministries, we strive to live this out by serving, loving, and bringing hope in tangible ways—today and every day.

This Christmas season, we celebrate the greatest gift of all, hope. Because of Christ, light shines in the darkest places, love reaches across every barrier, and restoration is always possible.

May your Christmas be filled with peace, joy, and the reminder that no one is beyond hope.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS PEACE, LOVE HOPE "THE PEOPLE WALKING IN DARKNESS HAVE SEEN A GREAT LIGHT." ISAIAH 9:2 TangibleHopeMinistries.org

This is one of the many homemade Christmas cards we receive from inmates all over the country. We think we encourage them, but our team finds so often that the opposite is true. One card, one letter can make all the difference in one life!
