Something to Encourage You
from one of KB's staff members
​Here's Psalm 23:1-6 in 4 different translations for you to compare and chew on...

New King James Version:
1 "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.
3 He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever."

The Passion Translation (*see 1st note below):
1 "Yahweh is my best friend and my shepherd. I always have more than enough.
2 He offers a resting place for me in his luxurious love. His tracks take me to an oasis of peace near the quiet brook of bliss.
3 That’s where he restores and revives my life. He opens before me the right path and leads me along in his footsteps of righteousness so that I can bring honor to his name.
4 Even when your path takes me through the valley of deepest darkness, fear will never conquer me, for you already have! Your authority is my strength and my peace. The comfort of your love takes away my fear. I’ll never be lonely, for you are near.
5 You become my delicious feast even when my enemies dare to fight. You anoint me with the fragrance of your Holy Spirit; you give me all I can drink of you until my cup overflows.
6 So why would I fear the future? Only goodness and tender love pursue me all the days of my life. Then afterward, when my life is through, I’ll return to your glorious presence to be forever with you!"

Amplified Version:
1 "The Lord is my Shepherd [to feed, to guide and to shield me], I shall not want.
2 He lets me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still and quiet waters.
3 He refreshes and restores my soul (life); He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk through the [sunless] valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort and console me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You have anointed and refreshed my head with oil; My cup overflows.
6 Surely goodness and mercy and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life, And I shall dwell forever [throughout all my days] in the house and in the presence of the Lord."

Holman Christian Standard Bible:
1 "The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I lack.
2 He lets me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters.
3 He renews my life; He leads me along the right paths for His name’s sake.
4 Even when I go through the darkest valley, I fear no danger, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff—they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
6 Only goodness and faithful love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord as long as I live."

Every 'Stone' is Precious! 
Picture
We are KB!  We provide a safe and secure, caring home for men transitioning out of prison and back into society after doing months, years or even decades behind bars.

Society may reject a person who has made mistakes in their past, treating them as an outcast, a pariah, a has been...assuming they will never change.

But we have SEEN people change!
We have SEEN lives turned around!
We have SEEN dignity restored & lives transformed!
We have SEEN families reunited & healed!

Of course, this will NEVER happen if we continue to dismiss someone, writing them off as a hopeless, worthless waste of time. (Which often is what happened to them as children, leading them down the wrong path in the first place!)

Because the TRUTH is that even though WE may not like a person because of what they've done...
Even though they may wear a tough mask and an unpleasant facade...
Even though they may have a rock-hard personality and a stony heart, embittered by rejection and mistreatment for years...
God says that EVERY human heart is valuable, like a precious stone!

So, just because WE may not recognize someone's worth does not mean God doesn't see them with eyes of compassion, forgiveness, and love! After all, NOBODY deserved what Jesus did for ALL of us at the Cross! But He still endured it because He saw the treasures hidden deep within EVERY human heart!

EVERY 'stone' is precious to Him!

Instead of ignoring and disregarding former criminals, by loving them no matter what choices or failures they've made, and communicating to them the message that God sees GREAT VALUE in them, like a hidden treasure--and so do we--hearts can be healed, leading to more wisdom in decision making because they began to realize their True worth!

But, we can only do so much with the limited resources we have. We can't reach as many people coming out of the prison systems as we would like.

We need YOUR help!

Please contact us for more information on our ministry and how you can help!
Thank you and God bless!

Prisons Hold God's Treasures
It was late and I was tired, wanting to go to sleep, but God wanted to talk; it was about midnight, but it dawned on me that God does not sleep.  His question made me restless.  “Bill, where on earth does man keep his most priceless treasures and valuables?”  I said, “Lord, usually these treasures like gold, silver, diamonds and precious jewels are kept locked up somewhere out of sight, usually with guards and security to keep them under lock and key.”  God spoke, “Like man, My most valuable treasures on earth are also locked up.”  I then saw Jesus standing in front of seemingly thousands of prisons and jails.  The Lord said, “These have almost been destroyed by the enemy, but these ones have the greatest potential to be used and to bring forth glory to My name.  Tell My people, I am going this hour to the prisons to activate the gifts and callings that lie dormant in these lives that were given before the foundation of the earth.  Out from these walls will come forth an Army of Spirituals, who will have power to literally kick down the gates of hell and overcome satanic powers that are holding many of My own people bound in My own house.

“Tell My people that great treasure is behind these walls, in these forgotten vessels.  My people must come forth and touch these ones, for a mighty anointing will be unleashed upon these for future victory in My Kingdom.  THEY MUST BE RESTORED.”

I then saw the Lord step up to the prison doors with a key.  One key fit every lock and the gates began to open.  I then heard and saw great explosions, which sounded like dynamite going off behind the walls.  It sounded like all-out spiritual warfare.  Jesus turned and said, “Tell My people to go in now and pick up the spoil and rescue these.”  Jesus then began walking in and touching inmates who were thronging Him.  Many being touched instantly began to have a golden glow come over them.  God spoke to me, “THERE’S THE GOLD!”  Others had a silver glow around them.  God said, “THERE’S THE SILVER!”

Like slow motion, they began to grow into what appeared to be giant knights in armor-like warriors.  They had on the entire armor of God and every piece was solid and pure gold!  Even golden shields!  When I saw the golden shields, I heard God say to theses warriors: “Now go and take what satan has taught you and use it against him.  Go and pull down the strongholds coming against MY Church.”  The spiritual giants then started stepping over the prison walls with no one to resist them, and they went immediately to the very front line of the battle with the enemy.  I saw them walk right past the church; and big-name ministers known for their power with God were surpassed by the giant warriors, like David going after Goliath!  They crossed the enemy’s line and started delivering many of God’s people from the clutches of satan while demons trembled and fled out of sight at their presence.  No one, not even the church, seemed to know who these spiritual giants were or where they came from.  All you could see was the armor, the golden armor of God, from head to foot, and the shields of gold were there.  The shields were restored to God’s House and there was great victory and rejoicing.

I also saw silver, precious treasures, and vessels being brought in.  Beneath the gold and silver were the people that nobody knew: REJECTS OF SOCIETY, STREET PEOPLE, THE OUTCASTS, THE POOR and THE DESPISED.  These were the treasures that were missing from His house.

In closing, the Lord said, “If My people want to know where they are needed, tell them they are needed in the STREETS, the HOSPITALS, the MISSIONS, and PRISONS. When they come there, they will find Me and the next move of My Spirit, and they will be judged by My Word in Matthew 25:42-43: ‘For I was hungry and you gave Me no meat, I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink, I was a stranger and you took Me not in, naked, and you clothed Me not, sick, and in prison, and you visited Me not.’ ”
--------------------------

Hopefully, this prophecy gives you a little better idea of God's perspective of people whom society has put in prison/jail.  He sees them very differently than we do.  The question we must ask ourselves is, "Who is right?  Him?  Or us?"

The above prophecy was written by Bill Yount and was later included at the back of Katie Souza’s first book, The Key to Your Expected End, along with the following note to those who just finished reading her book...

"Dearest Reader:
I first read this prophecy while I was still in prison.  When I did, an explosion went off inside of me!  Since then, the Lord told me that the ONE KEY Jesus uses to open up every prison door is THE EXPECTED END!  It is what He will use to raise up a Kingdom Army from inside the walls!  In March 2007, a personal word of prophecy was given to me: I WAS TOLD TO HAVE AN ARMY!!!  Each one of you [who has read her book] is a part of this Army!  Together we will take the world for Christ!!!
In His service,
Katie Souza"

*NOTE: Katie's books are excellent, for ANYONE (not just inmates, even though that was her original targeted audience)!

Meet our Mascot!
Picture
This is Diesel. He is the (un)Official mascot at Kingdom Boundaries.

He sits weird.

But, we love him. And he is a great comfort and encouragement to many of the men who come out of prison after years without getting to have a pet or any interaction with animals.

Interesting, isn't it? God gave the very first man ever created, Adam, the responsibility of naming the animals. It would make sense that Adam enjoyed getting to know and have some sort of relationship with those animals, too, since we humans are such relational beings. So, when a person is sent to prison and are then denied the simple pleasure of an animal friend, how rewarding it must be to have that once again! This is just another thing we take for granted, not realizing the huge impact on a person who has been incarcerated for any length of time.

Consider how many people go to prison and...in addition to having to leave family behind (spouse, children, parents, siblings, etc.), also have to leave a beloved pet behind, most likely to never see them again, since the pets often don't outlive the prison sentence.

How wonderful it is then, that when men get out of the prison and come to Kingdom Boundaries, they get to once again have a friendly, furry face wanting to show them some love and attention every day! A 'non-judgmental', 'I-couldn't-care-less-about-your-past' friend who doesn't want anything more than to sit on your lap and be loved!

Ok, well...that's not ENTIRELY accurate. I guess, in the light of full disclosure, I should probably warn you...in case YOU ever come to visit us here at KB...

Diesel IS going to want something from you: LOTS of petting, scratching, rubbing, hugging, and also ANY food you might have on you!

But, aside from that he'll be your friend, no questions asked!

And there are also a lot of great men here at Kingdom Boundaries, who need and would love to have a friendship with you, if you were willing to come for a visit. They probably wouldn't mind if you wanted to bring food, either! (But, we promise, no belly rubs!)

If you'd like more information about what we are doing for men who come out of prison, and/or would like to know how you can get involved, CONTACT US, visit our GET INVOLVED page, or make a DONATION to help us financially!

When was the last time YOU went grocery shopping?!
Picture
First time getting to buy your own groceries in 7 years! Hard to put a value on that.

It goes WAY BEYOND the cost of food, the impact of healthy, nutritional options, or the convenience and freedom of making your own meals. It brings a sense of value and empowerment back to a person who's identity has been crushed by the labels put on them by society and a system that doesn't view them as a person.

​The simple act of shopping for your own food, can be another step in the restoration process for someone who has had their dignity stolen, as it gives them some responsibility again. It gives them back the ability to begin making some simple choices. That's huge.

If you would like to be a part of doing that for men and women coming out of prison CONTACT US, visit our GET INVOLVED page, or make a DONATION to help us financially!

A New Review!
Rating: 5 stars    
"Kingdom Boundaries was monumental in my transition back into the community. They provided a safe Christian based environment for me to live and grow in. They also helped me rapidly find employment, provided transportation, and helped communicate with my counselors and parole officer. The adjustment is difficult for all parolees but Kingdom Boundaries assisted in alleviating much of the stress associated with it. I'm grateful and blessed for Kingdom Boundaries."

Another Excellent
Review!
Rating: 5 stars   
"After spending 19 years in prison, this ministry came along side me and provided the environment needed to readjust to society. Their love and accountability encouraged me to succeed in the transition process from prison to the street. The transition went so well, that I am now able to help others like myself see the dreams of freedom and a new life turn into reality. The power of Jesus Christ to transform people is clearly evident in this place of grace, mercy and love."

​Who Doesn't Like Cheesecake?!
Picture
"Tend an orchard and you’ll have fruit to eat. Serve the Master’s interests and you’ll receive honor that’s sweet." -- Proverbs 27:18 (TPT)

You know what else is sweet?  Cheesecake!

This photo is of a great guy called Pops.
He is very kind and funny with everyone he meets. He is almost completely blind.
​And he is a resident at Kingdom Boundaries Aftercare.

Pops loves to bake things (pies, puddings, all kinds of foods and desserts!) But, especially cheesecake. Anytime we are having an event, meeting or fundraiser...if food is involved, Pops makes a bunch of cheesecakes for us!  And they're GOOD!

The other day he came over to the office and said to me, "I just got back from the sto' gettin' some 'gredients to make me some thing. Did you know they have CHOCOLATE cheesecake?! I never heard such a thing! [*Editors note: He was in prison for 17 years.] I got me some of that chocolate cheesecake. I'ma gonna make it and then we'll see how it taste."

​Sure enough, the next day he brought over his chocolate cheesecake and asked me to try a piece.  Wow.

​(He also makes cherry, strawberry, vanilla, and vanilla with chocolate pieces...just to name a few.)
​
If YOU live anywhere near the Sioux Falls area and would like to purchase a cheesecake as a donation
​to Kingdom Boundaries Building Fund, let us know!  (I know Pops would be very excited to make some for you!)

"I am so grateful for this opportunity to encourage anyone who has a relative who will be paroled soon, or people looking for a ministry you can trust, to invest your hard earned money into.

God bless everyone who owns a dwelling place that allows someone making the transition from prison back into society, to have a roof over their head! Not all transitional houses are created equal. I have a relative living at Kingdom Boundaries currently, so I offer the perspective of someone with first hand experience.

Many things are needed in order for someone on parole to not continue living their lives making destructive decisions. Please go to www.KingdomBoundaries.org and acquaint yourself with what they are committed to doing.

It is a place where strangers are welcome and the love of God is offered. The ministry is effective in making a difference in people’s lives, because they aren’t satisfied with merely providing housing. I assume every halfway house has rules, such as curfews. But the boundaries and multifaceted education at KB opens doors for the men, and has the potential to radically transform their lives.

After years of experience mentoring men, Kingdom Boundaries has the desire to stretch out their tent pegs. At the website you can learn about the desire the ministry has to build a building that would house more men and for the first time, accommodate women as well. Society has a lot of needs. By financially and prayerfully supporting KB, donors become invisible partners. I can’t be there, but I can contribute so that God can become more valuable to these men than what captivated them before. Complaining about crime isn’t effective. Kingdom Boundaries has proven what they are capable of doing. Please consider supporting them, too."

"I work as a volunteer at one of the prisons from which released men find there way to KB. KB is a very essential step for many men to get reintegrated into society. Some men have been in prison for only a short time, others for decades. Many have been in prison multiple times. It is a shock to get out of prison and back into society. Very often these men are alien to there families, they have little to no money, and before they went to prison had problems. KB provides guidance and assistance concerning finances & housing, Christian based counseling and accountability is provided by people who understand and care. KB plays an important role in men getting their walk right before God and men."

Kids Need Their Dads...
"Those who are servants, submit to the authority of those who are your masters—not only to those who are kind and gentle but even to those who are hard and difficult." -- 1 Peter 2:18 (TPT)

Some people who come out of prison have to do a lot of things that seem ridiculous, just so they can spend time with their own children.

• Pray for these men (and women) as they jump through all the required hoops.
• Pray they demonstrate trustworthiness in the areas they have not been successful before.
• Pray they find true healing and restoration, especially with their children,
     but also with any other family relationships that have been broken.
• Pray they learn their TRUE identity as God sees them, and begin living as Kingdom men (and women)
​     who have a purpose and a destiny to fulfill.

Many of the residents that have come through Kingdom Boundaries have been in this situation...separated from their children and family.

"I got to Kingdom Boundries 2 weeks ago (03-15-22), after a little over 5.5 years in prison. The first thing you feel is love from the staff, the guests and the board members, a sense of I'm in good in hands. Kingdom Boundries' other half if you will, Freedoms Gate Church, make sure the residents and those affiliated walk alongside us and give sound advice, teachings, life skills and accountability. Their re-entry ministry is one that needs to expand to be able to have more of an opportunity to reach the healing, protect the young and help men and women grow in Christ as they are welcomed back home."

"Jeff and Rhonda Haverhals do a wonderful job of leading this ministry. Kingdom Boundaries is a prison after care program that helps inmates to be successfully reintroduced into society. They offer great Spiritual help and support the inmate in finding a job and taking care of some of their physical needs such as a place to stay and a few other necessities. They are a Christ centered and biblically based ministry."

About 8 years ago I was released from prison and was one of the first in the housing of K.B.  I have been privileged to not only receive the help I needed to get back into society , but also to help promote K.B. by telling my story in churches and even on the radio.

​Safe and Secure
Picture
"When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own house,
his belongings are undisturbed and secure." -- Luke 11:21 (AMP)

Ok, so we don't have a bunch of weapons here at Kingdom Boundaries, but our facility is actually VERY SECURE!  We have security locks on ALL the doors, so a person WITHOUT the correct keys can ONLY go out, and not come in.  If someone exits without using a security key, ​an alarm immediately goes off, alerting everyone a door was opened.  And when someone does use their key to enter/exit our facility,
all of those 'door times' are automatically logged into the system.

This photo is of one of our residents helping feed a Cat5 cable thru the floor to a  staff member, who is setting up yet ANOTHER security monitor in an office, to be able to view the video feed from over 30 security cameras were have here around the facility, both inside and outside the buildings!

Bottom line: our staff, any guests, and all of our residents (as well as, ​all of their belongings)
​are safe and secure while they stay at KB!

The Apostle Paul once wrote: "For when we were with you we instructed you with these words: “Anyone who does not want to work for a living should go hungry.”

Well, at Kingdom Boundaries we don't want men to go hungry, so we help them find employment. Here is a KB staff member, Tim Wendt, helping one of our new residents navigate an online application last week. If YOU have ever felt confused by technology, consider this: For people who have spent years in and out of jail/prison, learning how to use computers and websites is completely foreign, because they haven't had access to these things!

By the way, later that same day, the guy sitting down in this picture, Shane,
​got a call for an interview...and the next day he got the job!
