“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” 2 Cor 5:17

Reggie Holmes — A New Man in Christ Reggie was the only child of a single mom living in a troublesome neighborhood in Richmond, VA. In fact, his mom wouldn’t let him off the front porch due to the frequent shootings and rampant drug trafficking that occurred around them. As a child, he remembers attending church with his mom and happily building electric train sets in his bedroom.

God’s Plan for Life with Inmates After moving in with his aunt, he stopped attending church and In September 2010, Chuck Colson presented Robert Crenshaw with started hanging out with a bad crowd. As a result of a botched Prison Fellowship’s Shining Star robbery, Reggie was arrested, convicted, and sentenced. Award for his years of dedicated service.

In 2009, Reggie was introduced to his Prison Fellowship mentor, Stephan Hicks. Stephan was released from prison over a decade ago and had come to faith in Jesus Christ as a result of Christian cellmates. The two men met once a month and began to shape and pursue some post- goals for Reggie. Stephan recalls his own release from prison, “No one greeted me. I didn’t know where I was going.” With that in mind, Stephan created a different experience for Reggie’s release. When Reggie walked out of prison, the parking lot had two carloads of relatives ready to How is Reggie doing now? See the results of welcome him home. your generosity.

Since Reggie’s release, Stephan has remained close and always willing to provide assistance. He attended Reggie’s first meeting with his probation officer, attended Reggie’s baptism, and provided premarital counseling to Reggie and his fiancée Stacy. Reggie has also found a church home at the Tabernacle of Praise. After working up the courage to confess his past to the pastor, he found grace instead of judgment.

The bright spots in Reggie’s post-prison life don’t stop with finding a great church and full-time employment. Reggie and Stacy were married on January 26, 2011. “God’s been blessing me outrageously. First with a second chance at life and rebuilding it, and my beautiful wife, and now I’m patiently waiting for my son to make his grand entrance into the world!
