Strong Tower Ministry has been helping men and women re-integrate into society for the past three years in Denver, CO. We provide a safe, inviting place for them to come and receive assistance, guidance, computer help, and a path ahead.
In 2012, we saw 837 new men and women come through our office doors and over 5,400 individual sign-ins were registered. We provided over 130 backpacks, 265 hygiene kits, 6800 bus trips, 9 bikes, and 200 monthly bus passes.
We also try to provide them with a new community. We have a meeting on Thursday evenings that 40-50 men and women attend. We spend time singing, sharing testimonies, praying, eating, and in small groups. This provides them with a support network to keep them from going back in. According to our records, this ministry has cut the recidivism rate in half for those who join this program.
Would you give to support this ministry?
- $25 buys a backpack, hygiene kit, and bus tokens.

- $100 sponsors one church service and small group night
- $200 keeps the office staffed for a day

@ Sheila, Our motives for doing what we do impacts the effect. If we do it because we intend to punish those who have hurt, offended us, then we are doing God's duty but if we do it in love then we give God an opportunity to do His will. @ Selena, how about starting one in Arizona? I will look at starting one in CA, maybe we can truly let God's name be glorified in our lives! what you say? T= together E=everyone A=achieves M=more, Acronym for TEAM.
Well done,this is truthfully so.

HAVE WE LOST OUR FAITH? GOD SAID PRAY FOR THY ENEMIES. IT'S LIKE POURING FIRE N BRIMSTONE UPON THY HEADS. PRAY AND FORGIVE BC IT'S THE MOST POWERFUL SOURCE WE HAVE LEFT. FREEDOM OF SPEECH WE TAKE FOR GRANTED. OH WEAK THEY SHALL BE. AS MY SOUL DRIFTS OF AFFECTION, AND LIKE THE FIERCE WATERS OF THE SEA, WAVES CRUSHING AGAINST THEIR ANGER. LET GOD HAVE THE WHEEL AS A VESSEL WE CARRY ON.
"The Name of the Lord is a Strong Tower, the righteous run to it and are safe." Proverbs 18:10.
A Strong Tower Ministry stands in the gap for those men and women who are leaving prison and arriving in the Denver community seeking to change the direction of their lives in order to become productive members of society.
Without ASTM to greet them upon their release from prison, they would have no where to go except back to the environment they came from. ASTM gives them hope for survival...

Without ASTM to greet them upon their release from prison, they would have no where to go except back to the environment they came from. ASTM gives them hope for survival through a strong mentoring relationship in Christ Jesus, and provides them with employment opportunities to become financially self reliant, and to earn a sense of dignity. Please consider partnering with A Strong Tower Ministry by investing in this incredibly successful support ministry. Each successful reentry establishes the foundation for reunification for each of their families.
Pray how God might use you in helping these men and women to establish or regain their identity in Christ.
