THE LEGACY REENTRY FOUNDATION (In addition to performing before congregations and ministry organizations, the KIT Ministries ensemble frequently lends support to agencies in the communities where we live providing a faith-perspective or practical support to managing issues of concern in the region. Here is one of our connections. LEGACY REENTRY FOUNDATION — In early 2016, KIT Ministries was presenting our Sunday morning ministry at Connection Church in Libertyville, IL. Generally, the Sunday morning ministry is the core ensemble, Michael and Vikki performing, Garlan on keyboards. After rehearsal, a big man with childlike awe asked if he could sit in on drums during the service. That’s how we met George Moore Jr., and began a beautiful friendship with not just a drummer, but — more importantly — a man convicted to turning lives around. Because he had once been convicted.

Since our meeting, George founded the Legacy Entry Foundation, a non-for-profit agency dedicated to bring awareness to the crises of mass incarceration and the need for re-entry. George employs his gifts as a writer and spoken word artist to tell of his imprisonment,. That time not only enhanced his faith in Christ, but also led him to becoming a chaplain and reaching out to jailed individuals who need second chances. Among the family-help programs coordinated by The Legacy Rentry Foundation are the Biweekly Community Closet and the weekly Teen Success outreach. Learn more about these programs
