Inmates who have undergone the ministry’s teachings say they found a whole new life after being saved, and Sheriff Rod Seelye says that the ministry has improved conditions in the jail. He said there hasn’t been a fight among the inmates in almost a year.

The Deckers hope to spread their work across the state to continue help rehabilitating inmates.
