An inmate.
An orphan.
A work of art.
At first, these worlds seem impossibly far apart. Yet through Visions of Hope, God is bringing them together in a powerful story of redemption. Activity from inside Oregon prisons becomes a vehicle for hope—supporting Ugandan orphans while giving the incarcerated renewed purpose and dignity. This mission moves forward because of committed people who organize, guide, and champion the work.
God is doing something remarkable through the unlikely connection of Oregon inmates and Ugandan orphans—and it takes faithful volunteers serving behind the scenes to make it possible.
