Vision
To see prison inmates around the world living a life of hope and freedom only found in Jesus Christ.
Mission
To equip prison inmates through biblical discipleship for a life of hope and freedom in Jesus Christ.
Faith-based Dorms
Faith-based dorms are the flagship of the ministry, with discipleship taking place in dormitories that have been dedicated to the ministry’s use. Faith-based dorms have been established in the Travis State Jail on FM 969 (men) and the Coleman Unit in Lockhart (women). Inmates who have shown an interest in and been accepted into the program are housed in these dorms.
This setting, where offenders live 24 hours a day for six months, serves as a community of love and unity, creating and fostering an environment of peace and discipline where volunteers provide avenues for participants to grow close to God, to grow in Christ-likeness, and to change for the better.

Missionaries and organizations supported by WHPC in France, Kazakhstan, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines and more engage in various ministries particular to their contexts. Some partners have evangelism as their primary work, doing things like planting new churches or translating the Bible into the first language of the people they serve. Others provide access to critical community needs like education and clean water. Members of WHPC regularly correspond with and pray for our partners to keep these relationships strong across great distances.
