Reentry Partners

BTGM works with a number of organizations in the Gwinnett area, especially in reentry projects.

Greater Gwinnett Reentry Alliance

The Greater Gwinnett Reentry Alliance mobilizes community resources – financial, human, and material – to assist individuals and organizations serving the reentry population.

Governor’s Office of Transition and Reentry

Tasked with lowering recidivism rates by working with community organizations involved with reentry. Contact Jay Sanders.

North American Mission Board

The North American Mission Board exists to work with churches, associations and state conventions in mobilizing Southern Baptists as a missional force to impact North America with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

BTGM also works with International Salvation by the Lord Min., Inc. and Oumar Sylla, evangelist. And our built up rapport with guards, judges, lawyers, etc. in the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center is of immense importance.

We also work closely with the Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office.

David first met Sheriff Conway when he was running for his second re-election in 2004. David shared about the ministry he started to help people who’d been incarcerated, and Sheriff Conway shared his desire to lower the high recidivism rate at the Gwinnett County Jail, sometimes referred to as a “revolving door.”

Sheriff Conway later partnered with the United Way and worked with the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners to obtain the funds necessary to create the Gwinnett Re-entry Intervention Program (GRIP), which has reduced jail recidivism by pairing individuals exiting incarceration with community resources to assist them in becoming self-sufficient.
