A Season of Growth: Celebrating New Beginnings for Our Women’s Reentry Program

June has been a beautiful season of growth, hope, and new beginnings for our Women’s Reentry program here at Next Chapter Reentry Project. We are overjoyed to share that this past month, we welcomed four incredible women into our second reentry house—a space dedicated to offering support, stability, and a fresh start for women ready to step into the life God has for them.

Among these courageous women is Julie, whose story is one of resilience, faith, and transformation.

Julie’s journey with Next Chapter began over a year ago while she was still incarcerated. Even then, God was planting seeds of hope and possibility in her heart. Today, those seeds are beginning to bloom. Not only is Julie a proud mother and grandmother, but she is also a woman choosing to embrace new opportunities with courage, joy, and an open heart.

Beyond her bravery and determination, Julie is someone who loves life. She finds peace and joy in the outdoors, soaking in the beauty of God’s creation, and cherishing the simple moments of fun and connection.

We are incredibly honored to walk alongside Julie as she steps into this next chapter of her life. Her story reminds us that no matter where we’ve been, God’s love makes all things new—and that there’s always hope for a brighter tomorrow.

Welcome home, Julie! We are cheering you on every step of the way.
