Testimonials
September 28th, 2024, Soldiers of the Cross Motorcycle Club blessed the inaugural kick-off event at Mule Creek prison for the S.U.M Theological Bible College bachelor’s degree program. 10 years of prayer and faith came into fruition. Native Americans at Mule Creek invited the Soldiers of the Cross onto the Sweat Lodge grounds to pray for Holy Creator’s blessings on all parties. God opened a door for Chief Cornerstone to make them to be part of the Native Circle Sweat Lodge ceremony for the future. Amen!

It’s easy to become overwhelmed by 42 years of the adverse cultural conditioning of incarceration. Even after being liberated, redeemed and empowered by the gospel of Jesus Christ, I often labored in isolation against consumer Christianity, in favor of Christlikeness. SUM has provided us with much needed community, connection and direction for me to learn, grow and transform, not only for myself but to become an agent of change for those around me.

It is an amazing feeling to have people believe that you can change. It is truly a blessing when an organization like PIFC not only believes, but also leads in that change.

Endorsements
It is my pleasure to give my full endorsement to Paid in Full California and their team for supporting Prison Seminaries Foundation's establishment of a fully accredited Seminary bachelor’s degree in the California Prison at Mule Creek. The research from Angola, Mississippi and 21 other states prove that this is a culture changer for prisons creating moral rehabilitation, which is true change in an inmate’s life. In addition, the graduates become agents of change as they are transferred to other prisons throughout California as field ministers, or into communities if they are released.

The Seminary program at MCSP is already having a positive impact on the culture of the facility. We are very proud to be partnering with SUM College and Paid in Full California. This program aligns with and supports the vision of our California model.

I fully endorse the outstanding work of the Paid in Full California (PIFC) team. PIFC has followed the guidelines of Prison Seminaries Foundation (PSF) which began a prison reform movement in the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola. PIFC implanted the first faith-based bachelor’s degree in the California prison system in September of this year. The unique thing about the PIFC program is that it will offer an accelerated program that will take 3 years to complete rather than the standard 4 years. This is an exciting opportunity for the California prison system, and I look forward to PIFC’s first graduation ceremony in the spring of 2027!
