President and Co-Founder: Susan Neyra

Being incarcerated for over 5 years, I would not be the person that I am today if it had not been for volunteers who loved me in spite of my situation. Now it is my turn to go back into the gates and minister to those I left behind. I ask God’s will for an opportunity to share the Gospel, to receive His grace, and to be able to speak it well enough for others to understand it. So that those who are lost will each obtain eternal life through the shed blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

During my incarceration, I was privileged to work as a clerk to Chaplain Nelson at the Mt. View unit. After performing, “The Old Woman Is Dead” at a marriage seminar, Mrs. Nelson spoke a blessing over my life. “Susan, I believe you are called to speak and sing.” Four years after my release I applied to be a volunteer chaplain at the Hunt County Detention Center. Many were skeptical that I would be approved, BUT, not only was I approved,  I also served as Administrative Chaplain for six months. 

While volunteering as a counselor with the Mike Barber ministry I was reacquainted with Chaplain Nelson who became the TDCJ Regional Chaplain. Mrs. Nelson remembered me and opened the doors for me to provide ministry in prison. God laid on my heart to start a ministry that would touch the hearts of incarcerated women. Through the ministry, upon release, we would provide services to help ease their transition from prison back into society. As well as strengthening their relationship with Jesus Christ in the process. I am very excited about each program the ministry has to offer and the opportunities the women will have through our ministry. God is the ONLY real source of CHANGE. AMEN!

In 2020 through the blessings of God, and the support of close friends, I was able to leave my position in corporate America to pursue ministry full time. With continued support, prayer, and God’s will, I hope to continue to touch the hearts and change the lives of everyone around me.

Treasurer and Co-Founder:
Robert Neyra

Originally from the suburbs of Chicago, Bob came to Greenville, Texas, in 1977 when his grandfather moved the family business to the area where Bob worked from the age of 14. Growing up in a dysfunctional home, Rob lost both his parents and his older brother to alcoholism. Thanks to the grace of God, Bob knew this was a road he didn’t want to go down.

One day an employee of his grandfather’s business noticed Bob’s gift for math and encouraged him to attend college. While in college, Bob chose to pursue a degree in education, specializing in math. Upon his graduation, Bob got a job with the public school system. Today, Bob especially enjoys, and found his calling,  working with at-risk students.  For the past 26 years, he has dedicated his life to helping at-risk students grow both in education and as people.

Along with working with at-risk students, Bob fell in love with the prison ministry while accompanying his new bride, Susan, to the Gatesville units. They even spent part of their honeymoon ministering to inmates. Bob works alongside Susan to help her fulfill God’s calling on her life.
