The Power of Tangible Hope

Tangible Hope Ministries envisions a world where no life is defined by its darkest moment. We partner with local churches and organizations to offer second chances, build community, and share the power of tangible hope

Tangible Hope Churches

We partner with local churches and organizations to offer second chances, build community, and share the power of tangible hope.

The David Figlus Story

We invite you to watch The David Figlus Story — the powerful story that gave birth to Tangible Hope Ministries. We are reminded that God can bring beauty from brokenness and purpose from pain.

FROM PUNISHMENT TO POSSIBILITY... "My Journey In Reverse"

FROM PUNISHMENT TO POSSIBILITY... "My Journey In Reverse"

Keynote Speaker:

Troy Heintzelman
Self-Development Specialist/Peer Coach and Advocate

Join us as we hear the stories of those impacted by the criminal justice system.

  • What would they change if they could live their lives in reverse?
  • A young man who reversed his future and how one decision can take your journey in a totally different direction.
  • Enjoy a local hip hop artist and snacks.

We can't change the past, but together we can reverse the future.
