Prison Fellowship, the nation's largest Christian nonprofit serving prisoners, former prisoners, and their families, is partnering with Grammy Award-winning multi-platinum artist Lecrae to present a HOPE Event on Friday, April 2, 2021 at the Goodman Correctional Institution in Columbia, SC. The HOPE Event will feature a live performance from Lecrae and other inspirational speakers beginning at 1:00pm.
A multi-Grammy award-winning platinum selling artist, Lecrae has evolved into a New York Times best-selling author, entrepreneur, speaker, thought leader, philanthropist, and co-owner/President of Reach Records. He is part of the new wave of thought leaders who are engaging the culture and taking Jesus out of the pulpits into the wider world in hopes of restoring faith. "I am a hip-hop artist who happens to be Christian, believes in God, and follows the teachings of Jesus, but my music is created for all! There is so much on the horizon. I'm literally just getting started.” His nine studio albums and multiple mixtapes are now nearing the two million mark in sales, with the acclaimed artist winning two Grammy Awards, eight Dove Awards, a Billboard Music Award, multiple BET and Soul Train awards, and an Honorary Doctor of Music.

HOPE Events
In prison yards across the country, men and women are being introduced to the hope of Jesus Christ through one- and two-day Prison Fellowship Hope Events that feature a variety of inspirational speakers and musicians. While providing a brief respite from the challenges of prison life, these events give prisoners the chance to respond to Christ and take the next step of joining a faith community behind bars.
