Helping Up Mission is a community of hope helping men and women fighting addiction and homelessness get their lives back. Their comprehensive recovery programs address root issues of substance abuse and poverty. As one person is healed, Greater Baltimore is raised up.
unCUFFED Ministries is partnering with Helping Up Mission to focus on reentry and restoration as young men return to society.
The pandemic triggered a massive decarceration movement in the Maryland Prison System. With more and more young men returning home unCUFFED has focused on reentry work and successful reintegration to society. We want to focus on love, acceptance, and support but more so we want our work to show Effective Compassion, programs that actually result in changed lives.
Rather than recreating the wheel, we are seeking Christian partners like the Helping Up Mission to work with young men returning home. Have a look at the video we put out to attract Helping Up guys to join our Reentry Rap Class. The class focuses on Romans 12:2 and breaking the bonds of institutionalization, the patterns of this world, to understand what God has planned for you.
From our most recent class, this is what the HUM guys came up with when asked what is most important for unCUFFED to do to ensure a successful reintegration:
- Show a young man that we care about them deeply. That we desire to make an enduring commitment to walk alongside them in love. 1 John 4:18
- Listen to them. No ‘should’ statements, just hear their heart’s desire before we make any plans. 1 Cor 13:4
- Reprogramming. Helping young men break the chains of the streets and the institutionalization that comes from incarceration. Help them to stop the short-term focus on immediate gratification and see the long-term consequences of poor choices and the rewards of good ones. Romans 12:2
- Job Training. It’s one thing to find a simple job for a boy coming home but equipping him with the skills to keep the job, grow in the job, to learn and succeed is a more difficult process. Prov 22:6
- Community. Finding a communal living situation like Helping Up or the Philemon House to help guys form relationships with others that are similarly motivated to change. As they say in AA, ‘the power of the group” drives change. Acts 2:42-47
- Truth. That all these initiatives be based on the Biblical Truth of the Word and the revelation of Jesus Christ as our only refuge! John 1:1-5
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” – Romans 12:2
