Welcome to B.I.G. Love Ministries

Our Vision at B.I.G. Love Prison Ministries
B.I.G. Love Prison Ministries, our vision is simple yet powerful: to bring the love of Jesus Christ behind prison & jail walls and into the hearts of men and women who need Him most.
As a former offender myself, I know firsthand the challenges, pain, and hopelessness that can come with incarceration. That is why it is both humbling and an honor to return each week to Texas Department of Criminal Justice prisons and jails to share the Good News. What the enemy meant for harm, God meant for good and He has turned it into a ministry that now impacts lives across the state of Texas and beyond.
Every week, our team of faithful ambassadors leads discipleship classes and weekend services across multiple prison units. As of 2025, we are blessed to disciple nearly 900 men and women weekly locally here in Texas, helping them grow in their faith, develop a deeper relationship with Christ, and prepare for a transformed life both inside and outside of prison walls.
But God has expanded our reach even further. Through the Pando App & Edovo app, we are reaching inmates all across the United States. Now they have free access from their tablets to our:
- Weekly Podcasts
- Recorded Sermons
- Upcoming Discipleship Classes
- Our Freedom House Reentry Home For Men Coming Out Of Incarceration
- Weekly Church Services At Our New Church "Freedom Church"
We believe with all our hearts that consistent exposure to God’s Word—through In person visits, classes, sermons, and discipleship—produces lasting transformation. Week after week, we see hope restored, lives changed, and futures rewritten by the grace of God.
B.I.G. Love Prison Ministries is more than a program; it’s a movement of God’s love breaking chains and setting captives free, both spiritually and physically. We are honored to be a small part of what God is doing inside prisons and jails and grateful to every volunteer, supporter, and partner who helps make this vision a reality.
