Second Chances.
Restored Lives.
Real Hope.
Stay Out For Good™ is a Christ-centered reentry ministry of Leland Family Ministries, helping men and women prepare for life after incarceration and build a new foundation through biblical truth, personal responsibility, practical reentry preparation, mentorship, and ongoing support.
Built on Faith.
Focused on Lasting Change.
At Leland Family Ministries, we believe reentry must be more than a class, a checklist, or a short-term program. True reentry requires transformation, biblical truth, personal responsibility, healthy support, and ongoing accountability.
Stay Out For Good™ is our national reentry ministry created to help incarcerated and formerly incarcerated men and women rebuild their lives in Christ — through the 12-week reentry course, the 10 Biblical Reentry Steps, weekly Reentry Life Groups, one-on-one mentorship, and online reentry support.

A Clear Path
Forward.
Stay Out For Good™ provides a clear reentry pathway that begins with biblical teaching and continues through life groups, mentorship, and online support when local ministry is not yet available.
Learn
Participants begin with the Stay Out For Good™ 12-week reentry course, introduced to biblical truth, practical reentry preparation, personal responsibility, and the 10 Biblical Reentry Steps.
Work the Steps
Participants begin applying the 10 Biblical Reentry Steps as a pathway for truth, surrender, responsibility, healing, accountability, discipline, restoration, and purpose.
Graduate
After completing the 12-week course, participants are encouraged to continue through weekly Reentry Life Groups, mentorship, and ongoing support.
Grow
Graduates can enroll in weekly Reentry Life Groups for a deeper step study and continued biblical encouragement, prayer, accountability, and community.
Walk With Support
Released participants may be paired with trained reentry mentors who walk with them one-on-one through continued step-study work and practical application after release.
Connect Online
If there is not yet a Stay Out For Good™ ministry in a participant's local community, they may join the online reentry ministry for biblical support, step study, encouragement, and connection.
We believe second chances require more than good intentions. Lasting change comes through Christ, truth, responsibility, accountability, and a community willing to walk alongside men and women as they rebuild their lives.
