Arts, Crafts, and Prayer at Lowell Correctional

At The Lost and Found Jax, ministry often looks quiet, faithful, and deeply relational. One of the ways we live this out is through our ongoing arts and crafts and prayer time at Lowell Correctional Institution.

Each visit is centered on presence—showing up consistently, listening well, and creating space for meaningful conversation. Over time, these moments turn into relationships built on trust, care, and the reminder that every woman is seen, valued, and loved.

Creating with Purpose

During recent gatherings, the ladies at Lowell have been working on diamond art paintings—beautiful, detailed pieces created one bead at a time. These projects are more than crafts; they are moments of focus, creativity, and shared joy. As hands work, hearts often open. Conversations go deeper. Stories are shared. Prayer flows naturally.

These paintings are now being prepared for a special purpose: they will be donated to art shows at assisted living and senior adult communities. What a powerful exchange—art created inside a correctional facility becoming a gift of beauty and encouragement to seniors in our community. It is a tangible reminder that God can use every season, every place, and every person for good.

Ministry of Relationship

This work is not about a single event or program. It is about walking alongside women over years, investing in relationships that allow for deep conversations, spiritual growth, and genuine care. Arts and crafts simply provide a bridge—a shared activity that fosters connection and dignity.

Prayer remains at the heart of every gathering. We pray together, for one another, and for the communities these artworks will bless. It is holy ground.

How You Can Help

To prepare these diamond art pieces for donation, frames are needed. Framing each piece allows it to be displayed with honor and shared as a true gift.

• Frames can be purchased directly through our donation link: https://a.co/d/espNnQf
• Or you can give financially to help cover the cost of frames on the home page using the donation link

Every contribution helps turn creativity into connection and art into ministry.

Thank you for partnering with The Lost and Found Jax as we continue to serve, love, and build relationships in places often forgotten—but never beyond God’s reach.
