Mighty X Ministries Gives Ex-offenders A Second Chance
For years Rockford has struggled with its crime rate that trails only Chicago among Illinois cities. The Forest City has made some improvements to get violent offenses under control, but there's still work to be done.

This also helps heal the families effected by a loved one's incarceration. A woman I know's ex-husband was in prison and this group helped her get her life back on track - it helped her kids cope - I don't know where she would be now if not for the support she received in Mighty-X.... Thank God for this group!

I think this program would help a lot but there needs to be a company/org. to have job's available for the people who come home since they know that this is a problem. My son did 4 years in prison on a conspiracy drug charge that he was set up in. He was a first time offender and it was hard. When he came home it took a minute for him to find a job and he was broke and could not do for his kids and when you are a man who want's to be a provider, you are not gonna be that way. You will be very tempted to make money some kinda way. We prayed and he found a job and eventually became manager of a car lot because he knew the guy who hired him. He was good at it, made 80,000 a year for 2 years until the new owner didn't want him there. He transfered my son to their Dekalb lot and then fired him for being late. It was in the winter. It was set up that way we feel and I don't think we are wrong. There are millions of stories like this , I bet.
