Ed
Martin (founder
and former President) and his wife
were missionaries. They returned from three tours of duty in Japan with
New Tribe Missions to begin a work that would bring the Gospel of Jesus
Christ to prison inmates around the world. Since the death of her husband,
Alfreda was named to take his place. She is the author of our Bible Study
course.
Garry
Sims (Director of
Hope Aglow) was an inmate who gave his life to the Lord while behind bars.
After his release from an Alabama prison, he entered the ministry. During
his formal education at Liberty Baptist College, Garry began doing volunteer
work for Hope Aglow and soon became a member of the staff.
Mr.
Sims realizes that it is important to follow up on the
inmates and help them to become active members of a Christian Community
contributing to society.
Garry
Sims visits on a personal basis, in order to take an
inmate where he is, and bring him to a fuller understanding of God's word.
