Prison Ministry in California

At VL, we believe God is working through us to spread the good news in prison systems throughout California. Given the size of California, we’re uniquely blessed to make an impact far larger than ourselves. Through our prison outreach program, VL delivers hope behind bars to incarcerated men and women in California’s state and federal prisons. This magazine service is completely free, coupled with other powerful information like podcasts, prison outreach events, and digital resources.

Join us in getting VL into every prison in the nation.

Though we’re already in several federal and private prisons, we’re looking to share even more powerful testimonies as we grow our prison ministry in California. Make a tangible impact in the lives of California’s incarcerated by supporting VL! For $500, we can distribute VL at a facility for one year. No matter the dollar amount, all donations act as a catalyst for helping us spread the good news. Help deliver hope behind bars with VL!
