Jon Ponder found the Lord in solitary confinement in a federal prison. He was listening to Billy Graham share about the prodigal son and gave his heart to the Lord. After his release, he founded Hope for Prisoners. This organization helps those who have been in prison acclimate back in the work place and provides services for them to succeed in their family life as well. It’s goal is for ex-offenders to become a valuable part of society. Jon was honored at the White House at the National Day of Prayer Event last week. The title that ran on this story read – “From Bank Robber to the White House.” Wow! What a beautiful redemption story!
