Stephen Canup's Books Bring Hope and Transformation to Prisons Nationwide

WACO, Texas - Nov. 21, 2024 - PRLog -- Freedom in Jesus Ministries (FIJM) has achieved a groundbreaking milestone in its mission to bring the hope and love of Jesus to prisoners across the United States.

FIJM began distributing its content—the GOODNESS and GRACE of GOD—on prisoner tablets earlier this year through EDOVO in May and PANDO in July and September. These widely used platforms, currently available in 1,200 to 1,500 correctional facilities, aim to reach every prisoner tablet in America—eventually.

The impact of this initiative has been extraordinary. Reports reveal that FIJM's videos have been viewed over 78,000 times on PANDO and 47,000 times on EDOVO. Written Christian discipleship materials, previously mailed to prisoners three times a year, have been accessed over 9,000 times on EDOVO. Transitioning to digital platforms has significantly increased the reach and accessibility of these teachings, aligning with modern trends while reducing reliance on traditional mailing and printing.

Stephen Canup's books, central to FIJM's ministry efforts, have garnered exceptional engagement. On PANDO, the books have been opened over 145,000 times, with an additional 5,000 views on EDOVO. This shift to digital distribution eliminates the need for large-scale reprints, enabling the ministry to allocate resources more efficiently while expanding its reach.

"We are amazed at the goodness and grace of God to allow us this opportunity to minister to more prisoners across the United States," said Canup. "To Him be all the glory!"

The decision to embrace technology already yields significant savings on mailing, printing, and shipping costs, enabling FIJM to invest more in its core mission: sharing the gospel and equipping individuals with the tools for spiritual growth. Despite ongoing expenses associated with maintaining the content on these platforms, the ministry is confident that this approach offers a sustainable and impactful way to reach more prisoners.

FIJM remains committed to spreading the message of redemption and hope through innovative and effective means. With these platforms, prisoners have direct access to life-changing teachings, fostering a deeper understanding of Jesus' love and the path to freedom in Him.

Stephen Canup's books offer hope and freedom in Jesus to anyone imprisoned by guilt and shame, showing that true redemption is available to all. For more information about Stephen Canup's books and ministry, visit [www.fijm.org ].
