Miracle On the Ohio

[Min. Angela Lee Price]

"It is a blessing from God that Rev. Price is helping former felons like myself be able to vote. I haven't voted since Jimmy Carter ran against Ronald Reagon in 1980."
John R. Williams, III, St. Stephen Church usher and Mighty Men's choir member.

"This is indeed is a blessing for me. I gave my life to the Lord and was baptized last year at St. Stephen Church, and now I plan to vote for the first time in my life on November 4th.”
Luther Anderson, Employee, Simmons College of Kentucky

“I got in trouble when I was young and never applied for my rights until now. Barack Obama’s candidacy has motivated me to have faith in the system again, and I will be voting for the first time in my life. I am blessed to be voting in such a historic election.”
Carlton Gibson

“I am so happy for my son, James Lancaster and everyone who had their rights restored with the help of St. Stephen Church, Jesus Saves Ministries and WLOU. James will be voting for the first time and he is very excited about it.”
Ann Lancaster, Director, The Fountain of St. Stephen

[Min. Angela Lee Price]

In 2005, Jesus Saves Ministries assisted five former felons to regain their civil rights, including the right to vote. Our initiative in association with St. Stephen Church was the first faith-based advocacy program of it's kind that communicated directly with the governor's office, and local and state Departments of Corrections in Frankfort in tracking applicants through the entire restoration process. As a result of our initial success, the Louisville Branch NAACP modeled their 2008 first-time felons voting rights campaign after our program. We salute the NAACP for assisting more than 100 former felons to regain their voting rights.

Currently, we have two applications pending approval in Frankfort. If you, or someone you know in Louisville or the state of Kentucky is interesting in having their civil rights restored, contact us at [e-mail].
