Connect with people who understand the road your family is walking.
A support ministry of RAW Movement Ministries
Your family’s story does not end with a sentence.
A welcoming, Christ-centered Zoom community where families of incarcerated loved ones find understanding, prayer, practical help, courses, resources, and hope.
“I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.” Philippians 3:14 NLT
“The sentence affects the family, but it does not have to define the family.”
You are not alone
A safe place to be understood, strengthened, and supported.
When someone is incarcerated, the separation reaches far beyond the person serving the sentence. Parents, spouses, children, grandparents, and caregivers may carry grief, uncertainty, financial pressure, and questions others do not understand.
Pressing On brings families together online without judgment or shame. Families can speak honestly, pray together, receive biblical encouragement, obtain useful information, and keep moving forward in faith from wherever they live.
Be strengthened
Receive prayer, Scripture, encouragement, information, and support.
Press forward
Build hope for your family’s future, one faithful step at a time.

Supporting both sides of the sentence
Hope and resources can reach inside the prison, too.
With the family’s permission, Pressing On can write to an incarcerated loved one and introduce the encouragement, courses, and resources available through RAW Movement Ministries.
Families may provide their loved one’s name, identification number, facility, and mailing address during registration. RAW will use this information only for approved ministry correspondence and resource outreach.
Personal encouragement
A ministry letter reminding the incarcerated loved one that they are seen, valued, and not forgotten.
RAW courses
Information about faith-based restoration, thinking-pattern, recovery, reentry, and discipleship courses.
Practical resources
Relevant materials for spiritual growth, family connection, preparation, and restoration.

Program directors
James and Vickie Binderim
James and Vickie lead Pressing On with a heart for families, a commitment to biblical truth, and a desire to make sure no family carries the weight of incarceration alone.
Community conversation
Bring your questions. Share your concerns. Learn together.
The Pressing On Forum is a public, moderated space for respectful discussion about incarceration, family relationships, communication, children, waiting, reentry, faith, and restoration.
Protect your family’s privacy. Do not post inmate numbers, mailing addresses, charges, case details, medical information, phone numbers, or other identifying information. Submissions are reviewed before they appear.
Staying connected without losing yourself
How can families maintain healthy communication, boundaries, and hope during a long separation?
Helping children process incarceration
What language, routines, and support help children feel secure without hiding the truth?
Preparing the whole family for reentry
What expectations, conversations, and practical steps should begin before release?
RAW course scholarship opportunity
Help your loved one qualify for a restoration course.
Families may request scholarship consideration for an incarcerated loved one who wants to participate in an eligible RAW course. Awards depend on course availability, facility requirements, funding, the student’s willingness to participate, and ministry review.
