Volunteer Efforts Result in Big Life Changes
The following inmate testimony shares the impact and difference a relationship with God and ACM's Transformational Living Community (TLC) has had on his life.

Inmate Testimony
I was born and raised in North Miami of South Florida. It was a big city and I grew up in the fast life during the pill epidemic. I was hooked on Xanax by 14, became a felon at 15, entered the street life at 16 and never looked back. After doing time in the Ohio penitentiary I moved to Alaska to get away from all the trouble. What a joke! Before long I was serving 8 years for armed robbery. I felt as if my life would never change and I wanted to give up and end it all. While in prison I heard about the TLC Program. Through this program, the help of the chaplains and other godly inmates, God caused me to grow in relationship with Him. I now have a beautiful walk with Christ! It’s so very true “God saved my life, turned me into a handsome man of God and gave me unwavering hope! KF Tats and all
