About Us

Our Mission

Mission 29:11 Reentry exists to enable healthy reentry by men and women returning from prison by providing one-on-one mentorship, efficient access to outside resources, and a welcoming community.

The vision for Mission 29:11 Reentry was birthed in prison and is based on Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

The organization was founded in 2023 as a tax-exempt Minnesota nonprofit, under section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Board of Directors

Several of our Board members bring extensive experience working with and training prisoners and volunteers inside prison, and volunteers and former prisoners on the outside, including the screening, matching and oversight of mentee/mentor relationships. Other members, having served time in prison, offer personal insight into the challenges of incarceration and healthy reentry.

Statement of Faith

  1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
  2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
  3. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
  4. We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful people, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
  5. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
  6. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
  7. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
