Jumpstart SC

We are excited to announce that JUMPSTART SC received a grant from the Milliken & Company! We can’t wait to use this grant to further our mission in South Carolina through 360º re-entry support. Thank you!

Behind the walls, we hear the same story again and again: "My grandmother prayed for me." "My grandfather took me to church." "I haven't thought about those Sunday mornings in thirty years, until now."

Seeds planted decades ago by faithful grandparents are sprouting in prison cells across South Carolina. A hymn half-remembered. A verse memorized as a child. The smell of a worn Bible on a kitchen table. These small, faithful moments don't disappear. They wait.

To the grandmother who prayed over a sleeping grandchild. To the grandfather who read Scripture at the breakfast table. To the ones who slipped a Bible into a backpack, who took little hands to church, who whispered Jesus' name into childhood:

Your seeds are still growing.

In our ministry, we meet men and women who tell us they found their way back to God because they remembered the Jesus they saw in you. A song you sang. A verse you taught. The way you talked to Jesus like He was in the room.

You may have wondered if it mattered. It mattered.

"Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." — Proverbs 22:6
