5 CJ Born into a minister s home, CJ Orndorff was raised in Tucson, Arizona. Music and ministry were the way they lived their lives both independently and as a family. If Jesus were walking on this earth today, I seriously doubt that He would be hanging with the spiritual elite. He would be with those that He came to set free from a life that is ravaged by sin. He would be busy restoring life to the addicts, prostitutes and criminals.

6 In a concert setting, CJ brings the audience into worship, shares special music, and always brings inspiring messages encouraging believers to reconnect and strengthen their commitment and walk with the Lord.

8 What is TBN 2 nd Chance? FREE faith-based TV programming, provided for correctional and rehabilitative facilities, aimed at rehabilitation and reducing recidivism.

9 What is our mission? click here to engage video Our mission is to offer America s inmates a second chance to make good choices by providing positive, life-affirming television programming 24 hours a day.

10 How does it work? Working in conjunction with the wardens and chaplains of prisons, correctional facilities and re-entry centers, TBN 2nd Chance will provide the equipment necessary to view four of their television channels to those facilities that request it and qualify for the program.

11 What Can I Do? With the help of everyone here, we can cover every correctional facility in the Philadelphia region and Delaware Valley offering TBN programming to those behind bars, many of whom would hear The Good News for the first time in their lives.

15 Viewer Comments from the Inside (letters sent to WGTW-TV Philadelphia) I am on my fourth year here (at this prison) and spent 12 ½ years in my prison out west. Though I am still inside my hope is in a mighty God and you. Your network has changed my life and I ll never be the same. Keep up the lifesaving, wonderful programming. I love Hillsong Network. Thank you. ~Eric, Inmate I watch you on TV and God is really working through you. People are being saved, healed, and blessed. I am in prison but praise God I am saved. ~George, Inmate

16 Thank you all for keeping dreams and hopes alive. I have 12 years left here in prison. My heart and prayers are always with my TBN family. ~M. B., Inmate I look at TBN and Praise the Lord 24 hours a day. I love looking at TBN and look at nothing else. Jesus saved my life. ~David, Inmate

17 Thank you for everything and making the Lord known to others. Thank you for making a difference in my life. ~D. F., Inmate I watch TBN every day and night. It puts me to sleep at night. ~Eugene, Inmate I watch your network every day in my cell. Your programs have been such a blessing to me and helped me get through this difficult time in my life. Thank you so much. ~Jillian, Inmate

18 I am currently incarcerated and will be until November Sometimes, it is difficult to move and work when thinking about what I have done. My day is much smoother and easier to do when I watch Joel and Joseph in the morning. Thank you for the daily reminder that my best days are ahead of me and I am forgiven by God s grace. ~Joshua, Inmate TBN is a light for me and others in this dark prison. My faith in God s mercy has kept me strong in this place for 26 years. May God bless each person who is connected to TBN, from the janitor to Matt and Laurie. ~Melvina, Inmate I respect that you care equally for all, not just the found but also the lost and wandering ones. Thank you, TBN family. ~Markita, Inmate

19 I am being held in solitary confinement and am cut off from all chapel services and resources. A few months ago, one of the C.O. s left his workstation s TV on which was turned in to TBN so I saw and heard a message from Kerry Shook. I have no doubt that God intervened so I could hear this message that was just for me. ~Thomas, Inmate

21 A snapshot of our time together on April 25, 2017 Chaplain Steve Anderson, who was once incarcerated himself but now ministers in two maximum security facilities in Delaware, talked about what a great asset it would be to have 24/7 access to TBN teaching in area facilities. Chaplain Anderson is daily involved in Prison Outreach of Delaware as program leader of Bridge to Victory that offers a safe haven of support and counseling for those recently released from prison.

22 Mark Reynolds speaks to 35 local pastors and chaplains about TBN 2 nd Chance and the profound impact of ministry to those who are incarcerated.

23 CJ Orndorff performed three songs that he shares with the inmates during his prison outreach ministry.

24 Inspired and encouraged, a few guests remarked to TBN staff that they didn t want to leave, they were having such a good time connecting with like-minded people and learning new ways to reach those behind bars. (This isa partial group photograph of those who remained after the event. )
