IMPACT LIVES THROUGH GENEROSITY.

The Quiet Power of Generosity Behind Bars

This month, I want to share the story of a remarkable couple, faithful partners with ARM, who are helping plant God’s Word in the hearts of prisoners. When I asked if I could spotlight them, they gently declined the spotlight itself, wanting the focus to stay on the work God is doing. This echoes the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:3: “Don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.” Their humility only deepens the beauty of their generosity—a quiet, steady faith that’s changing lives in prisons. And it’s a powerful reminder that your partnership with us, whether named or unnamed, is part of something extraordinary.

From Seneca to Salvation: How A Friend’s Prison Story Fuels David and Libby’s

Passion for ARM

David and Libby Duncan met at Ozark Christian College. Together, they learned about many effective and entrepreneurial ministries in the Joplin area. Just a few are Christ In Youth, White Fields Overseas Evangelism, Good News Productions, International, and American Rehabilitation Ministries – now, ARM Prison Outreach.

They recall, “We first learned about ARM when we were students, and have followed the work for decades. We’ve several times made contact with ARM because friends and acquaintances needed the ministry for themselves or family members.”

OTHER WAYS TO GIVE

Legacy Giving

Your legacy can be caring for loved ones and making a difference in the Kingdom of God for generations.


Estate planning is more than just distributing assets—it’s an act of faithful stewardship. The Bible reminds us that all we have belongs to God (Psalm 24:1), and we are called to manage His blessings wisely (1 Timothy 6:17-19). Through planned giving, you can maximize your resources to support your loved ones while also investing in Kingdom work.


Many people believe estate planning is only for the wealthy—but anyone can make an impact through legacy giving. With careful planning, you can ensure that your resources are used to strengthen prison ministry, provide Bibles for inmates, and bring the message of redemption to those who need it most.

  • Blessings Are Meant to Be Shared – God calls us to give generously in life and beyond, ensuring His work continues (2 Corinthians 9:6-7, Galatians 6:10).
