About Us
A Ministry of Redemption in Christ
Pardoned by Christ exists to share the redemptive power of Jesus Christ with people impacted by incarceration. Founded by Mike Shank after his own prison conversion, our team now serves families, parole officers, and returning citizens with one clear message: no one has stumbled too low for the grace of God. Everything we do is driven by this calling—to be a light in dark places and walk alongside the broken toward true freedom.
