Training, Sending, and Winning

One Soul at a Time

Since 1969

Our Mission Statement


To assist the church by equipping and igniting Christians to share their faith in Jesus Christ with the "least of these."


We come alongside local churches all across the nation, under the authority of the pastors, and train their members to share the Gospel using a simple, straightforward tract. The next day, we take the newly trained volunteers into jails, prisons, and juvenile facilities where they are given multiple opportunities to share the life-transforming message of Jesus Christ. Following the event, many of those equipped and ignited volunteers take what they have experienced behind the walls and use it to make a difference in their home churches, communities, neighborhoods, etc. Training, sending, and winning one soul at a time!

How We Assist the Church

Bill Glass Behind the Walls


Early on, Bill Glass noticed an unusual aspect of athletic success: When he talked, people listened. More than that, people asked him to talk. As a star football player in high school, an all-American at Baylor, and a defensive stalwart during eleven years in the NFL, Glass was regularly invited to stand up and say a few words. As his friends will tell you, Glass has always been an utterly straightforward sort of person. So when he stood to talk, he spoke about the things closest to his heart. He talked about sports, and he talked about Christ. And thus, a dynamic nationwide ministry was born. 
 

His Dallas-based ministry is now called Bill Glass Behind the Walls. With a dedicated staff and volunteers numbering in the thousands, the ministry is known for its high-energy Day of Champions and Weekend of Champions events conducted inside prisons across the country. Bill says a board member kept badgering him to take his message into prison. “I kept resisting. I was frightened that I wouldn’t fit in with street kids and gangsters in prison.” After overcoming his fears, he saw dramatic results. “I was thrown into it kicking and screaming, but the response from the inmates was just unbelievable,” he said. 

He has spent much of the last forty years ‘behind the walls.’ He has taken along other pro athletes, champion weight lifters, magicians, tight-rope walkers – as well as race cars, stunt planes, motorcycles, and just about anything or anyone else – to draw prisoners out for a message of hope and deliverance. He discovered that prison inmates are just like everyone else: They will listen to what an athlete has to say, and they will respond to a heartfelt Christian witness. All these years later, Bill Glass is still talking, and people are still listening to him.
