Several women from New Hope faithfully visit the Southwest Florida Juvenile Detention Center each week to lead a Bible study and spend time in prayer with incarcerated teen girls. For more than a decade, this meaningful ministry has shared the hope and love of Christ with young women who often come from difficult circumstances, including family instability, trauma, exploitation, school disengagement, substance use, unsafe relationships, and a lack of positive adult support.
Additional volunteers are needed who have a mature Christian faith, a heart for helping young women know Christ, and are members of New Hope. There are also important ways for others to support this ministry! You can help by providing homemade, nut-free baked goods or by committing to pray for the volunteer team and the girls, asking the Holy Spirit to guide, protect, and work through their time together – especially on Mondays from 3–6pm.
