Prisons to Nations
Making disciple makers of men and women in a forgotten harvest
“The FM4:18 Training Academy is a vehicle to accomplish life transformation in Christ, providing every Christian with missionary training to spread the Gospel, make disciples, plant churches, and raise up leaders for the Kingdom.”
We make disciples of men and women across the prison system who are transformed by the power of God. Then we train them to go and do likewise.
In response to God's call on both men and women, we presently operate a residential campus serving men, with expansion plans to accommodate women in the near future.
For men leaving prison and answering God's call, we are building a discipleship home: transitional housing and mentorship for those who once were captives and are now sent as free men.

How the work actually happens
Digital to physical
“Commands of Christ” launched on Edovo tablets, giving 1.5 million prisoners access to the Gospel and training.
Mobilize the outside
Recruit dedicated volunteers, train them thoroughly, and form a united team prepared to enter the units.
Own the mission
Equip leaders inside to share the Gospel, make multiplying disciples, and plant sustainable, self-replicating churches in the facility.
The coach-player model
We do not manage; we empower. Outside volunteers become coach-players serving alongside the inside leadership teams.
Grow the footprint
Active in 5 units today, with entry underway in 3 more, including our very first women's unit.
