What Can I Do?
At Compassion Wyoming, we believe no human being is beyond redemption. Every prayer, gift, word, and act of service plays a role in helping people successfully reenter society and live with dignity. Here are ways you can take part in this mission:
🙏 Pray With Compassion
Prayer is the foundation of all true transformation. It is through prayer that hardened hearts can be softened, broken families can be restored, and discouraged souls can find hope again. By faithfully lifting up incarcerated men and women, their families, and the communities they return to, you invite God’s mercy into places where despair often lives. Prayer creates space for healing, opens doors for redemption, and strengthens the mission of Compassion Wyoming. Every whispered prayer is a seed of change, carrying the power of faith into lives longing for freedom and restoration.
