This prison population is the largest in the world. It is easy to enter and hard to escape. YELOline Initiative sponsors live concerts of original music to bring hope and healing to the men and women who for whatever reason have ended up incarcerated. We are convinced that the message of the Gospel shared through raw and honest songs touches hearts in ways that words cannot. We believe that offering the best we have to those in unfortunate circumstances helps to restore dignity and hope. The way we interact with those in prison is the way we interact with Jesus Himself......and it is always a humbling gift to spend time with Him.
Thank you so much for visiting our site. Please stay awhile. Check out the music, check out the message and mission. And please pray for us. God bless!
YELOline Initiative is currently booking an April tour of State Correctional Facilities in the Mid-south region. Please pray for opportunities at both new facilities and at institutions we've been before.
One of our goals for 2024 was to upgrade some of our sound equipment. Our goal was to purchase a dedicated YELOline sound system that duplicated and upgraded the great sounding, but compact system we had been borrowing from edenlight and retire theirs to their rehearsal space. Thanks to God's generosity exhibited through brothers and sisters in Christ we were able to purchase a new system at the beginning of 2025. It will be ready to go at SCI Albion on February 8th!
A song about the death of legendary songwriter Hank Williams on New Years Day 1953. Many of the ladies and gentlemen we interact with in prison have ongoing struggles with addictive behaviors and can relate to the struggles that took Hank's life. One of the most common fears we hear is the ability to stay clean and sober upon release. Please keep them in your prayers.
“There’s a coin that’s lost
There’s a child that’s gone
There are days
That won’t end
They drag on and on
But there’s always hope
Even when all hope is lost”
