True Love in Action
The following recent testimonials come from incarcerated men currently enrolled in Bill Holko’s Character Development classes and/or Bible Study (1 Timothy/Titus); however, they reflect, as well, on the contributions of other staff members.
“I would like to thank True Freedom Ministries and Bill for Tuesday’s Character Development and Bible Study groups. They have been the light of hope for me in my walk with the Lord while here at GRC. True love in action.” - Danny
“With a fixed focus you can find your value. This class helps you gain knowledge and understanding to bring outstanding character.” - Unnamed Resident
“Being in Character Development has opened new doors for morals, social ethics, and hope. I’m learning to invest my life and time to think right and plan for my day as well as my future. This class brings attention to resources for help. It teaches us how to have healthy relationships with people and to be leaders of good influence. I have learned self-discipline in managing my emotions and deciding how to react in different situations.” -Abdush
“I really appreciate True Freedom Ministries and all they offer here at Grafton. I have participated in Character Development, the 1 Timothy/Titus Bible Study, Alpha After Dark, the monthly Mentoring sessions, and Sunday morning Chapel Services when True Freedom staff and volunteers assumed the preaching duties. I have created a great relationship with Bill Holko, who has been nothing short of a blessing to me and my fellow peers. I have learned so many great things and have acquired so many new tools on my journey to my new walk of faith as I become a true man of God. I personally want to thank True Freedom Ministries for everything they do and contribute. I hope they continue to change lives and mindsets just as they have done for me.” - Jayshawn
“I would like to take a moment to thank the compassionate, caring individuals of True Freedom, who make programs and educational opportunities possible. As an incarcerated person at GCI/GRC, I met and became friends with so many of the men and women of True Freedom. They treated me with dignity and the respect I was sure I had lost when I found myself in prison. I was 60-years old, a Christian my entire life, retired three times over from public service, and suddenly found myself in trouble with the law for something I had done 45-years ago. How could this be me?” – Unnamed Resident
“Prison was no friend of mine, and, until I discovered True Freedom, I thought my life was over. Mike Swiger, Bill Holko, Rich Swiger and Kevin McHugh are only a few people who reached out with the Spirit of the Holy Father and Jesus Christ to pull me from my despair. I am currently 331 days from leaving prison. With True Freedom’s support, I now look to the future with zeal and excitement. I refuse to let the mistakes of my past define me. God bless all the fine people at True Freedom.” - Unnamed Resident
