The mission of Bridges To Life (BTL) is to connect communities to prisons to reduce the recidivism rate (particularly that resulting from violent crimes), reduce the number of crime victims, and enhance public safety. The spiritual mission of Bridges To Life is to minister to victims and offenders in an effort to show them the transforming power of God’s love and forgiveness. The BTL curriculum material has now been used in 17 states and 7 countries. To date, more than 80,000 graduates have completed the BTL program with the help of over 3,600 volunteers.
