Inside the Lines

03/24/2025

After 10 years of gathering footage, Inside the Lines is thrilled to present our ministry video detailing what God allows us to do regularly--use sports "inside the lines" of prisons all over the United States as a tool to give the gospel to inmates.

A huge thank you to David Baral, Zach Jordan and Jeremiah Dew for their contributions to make the video possible!

Come with us as we take the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ "inside the lines" of prisons all over the United States!

The words above are a few ways to describe the experience of giving the gospel inside a prison...especially if you have never done prison work before. Many first-time volunteers leave surprised at how much of a mission field lies beyond the fences. We would love to have your help with the tournament...

Inmate testimony received by email recently--"I played in the basketball tournament and I listened to the message and I got saved and they gave me a Bible that I still have and use. I'm trying to better myself it's not easy but I'm working at it and I love God because I know he is real!!!!!"
Praise the Lord!!

We are in need of a big van for our ITL basketball team to travel to 20 prisons this summer. Do you know of a personal or church van that will not be in use May 9-26?

Inside the Lines was a great experience for me! I believe God orchestrated that trip at the perfect time in my life. Getting to know the team and making great memories that I will never forget. It was a great blessing to me not just because we had a great time but it was a blessing in a spiritual wa...

Coming this summer 2023--Inside the Lines is looking for guys to play basketball against inmates for the 3 weeks between school getting out and summer camp starting. Join us as we compete in up to 24 prisons! Share this for those who might be interested!

Inside the Lines is looking for 7-9 college-age guys to travel for a few weeks at the beginning of the summer (May 8-26,2023). You can still work at a summer camp or a regular job after you get back. We are not necessarily looking for incredible basketball players. We would love to win every game we...

Praise the Lord for open doors! When praying for direction He leads to the exact prison staff members we need to communicate with. I've been on the phone or emailing recreation directors all over the state of Ohio. Eleven of them didn't even hesitate and said it would be great for us to come in this fall. Phone call this morning took 4 mins for the staff to get on board. Best of all, most of them had never heard of a ministry like ours running an actual tournament. Going all over Ohio will be new for ITL...we've been there for one tournament a few years ago.
