Reach the Forgotten
Reach the Forgotten believes in the redemption and restoration of inmates through Jesus Christ. As the largest jail-focused ministry in the U.S., we empower chaplains and volunteers to share hope and salvation with the “forgotten” women and men incarcerated in Michigan’s county jails.
Reach the Forgotten is a biblically-based, chaplain-led, volunteer ministry. FMM provide hope in Michigan county jails by teaching, preaching, and showing the love of Jesus Christ. Reach the Forgotten believes that every inmate that returns home can start a new life, become a productive citizen, and never return to jail.
Reach the Forgotten currently has placed chaplains in 33 jails across the state of Michigan. These chaplains lead a team of dedicated volunteers who preach the message of Jesus Christ to inmates in Michigan county jails.
“Jail is not a desirable place to be, but it was the place that saved me, thanks to Forgotten Man Ministries. It’s not just a job for them. They are just trying to show love in the most broken part of our broken world.”
-Joshua S., Genesee County
36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ Matthew 25:36
