While serving a long-term sentence in the Orange County Regional
Jail, Bridge Ministry founder, William Washington, was apprehended by the love of God
and found the grace and strength to begin a new life. The former drug addict and dealer
began reaching out to those in jail through a community prayer meeting. Later, he and
his wife, Joyce, opened their home to families in their neighborhood and to troubled men
who needed help overcoming addiction.
Since 1996, The Bridge Ministry has been
providing a second chance for men who are
committed to breaking free from life-controlling
issues. Nearly nine out of ten men who
complete at least twelve months
of The Bridge Ministry
program go on to live
successful and
productive lives.
