ABOUT THE JESUS INFUSION

​

The Jesus Infusion is a faith based non-profit women's prison and jail ministry in north central Florida.  The ministry was birthed after the founder, Nicole Dyson, served her own sentence in federal prison.  She believes the more Jesus is infused into even the darkest of times and places, the more His glorious plans shine. 

 

For over a decade, through TJI's prison and jail programs, reentry support and Pen Pal ministry, women are discovering grace, hope and a new kind of freedom.  Thousands of women a year participate and thrive because of these efforts.

  

The work of The Jesus Infusion began unofficially in 2012.  Nicole and a team of volunteers steadily ushered the gospel behind bars.  Lives were being impacted and the work became a non-profit in 2015.  Collaboration with other local programs and organizations such as the Alachua County Reentry Coalition, Career Source and churches, give even more strength to efforts to reduce recidivism in our area.  

​

INVITE     An average of >3,000 women are not just touched but greatly impacted- even radically changed- each year by TJI.  With life skills classes, chapel services, and Bible studies, women are better equipped to walk in freedom once released or to function if the freedom only of the gospel while serving a life sentence.  TJI attends court appearances all over the state on behalf of women. 

 

INVEST    Pen Pal ministry is a form of discipleship and friendships to sow hope and encouragement.  Women are written to, prayed for, visited, loved and not forgotten. This is a beautiful way to remember those in prison as directed in the Bible. 

​

The Jesus Infusion is saving towards opening a small transition home to house up to four women upon their release from prison.  The TJI investment of love and discipleship for each woman is personal and thorough therefore the home will best serve only a few women at a time.  After a prison sentence and participation in TJI programs while incarcerated, women have completed detox, learned life skills and have the foundation of the gospel. 

​

These well vetted women are supported through mentoring, jobs, clothing, hygiene needs, food and bus or transportation assistance while they learn to get back on their feet- as a new and improved version of themselves.  Residents of this future home will be those whom TJI has already discipled, invested in and developed personal relationships with over the years.  Mental health, parole, probation and counseling are already addressed with those released that TJI is currently serving and will continue to be areas addressed with the growing support network. 

​

INSPIRE ​   Lives are being renewed and women are being equipped to live in a new way.  Inspired by the newly discovered love of their Heavenly Father, support from Pen Pals, TJI prayer warriors and the TJI team, they can live a new life.
