The purpose of Celebrate Recovery is to fellowship and celebrate God’s healing power in our lives through the 12 Steps and 8 Recovery Principles. This experience allows us to “be changed”. We open the door by sharing our experiences, strengths and hopes with one another. In addition, we become willing to accept God’s grace in solving the problems in our lives...Read More
Prison Ministry
Because of Inspiration Ministries' birth behind prison walls, God has made it clear that a vital branch of Inspiration is giong to be geared for ministering not only to those incarcerated, but also those being released. Our Behind the Walls ministry is focused on serving those incarcerated men and women.
These past few months have been full of incredible mountaintop experiences – Andy and I bought our first (personal) house in May; He was released from probation 5 YEARS early in June; and we are literally days away from moving men into our transitional house.
Oh happy day! Half of 2017 is over. Unbelievable! Well, there is one thing that you can be sure of…Andrew Foster will not be serving the second half of this year on probation. That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, the Lord’s favor knows no bounds and on June 2, I was released from probation after completing 5 ½ years.
“Peace is My continual gift to you. It flows abundantly from My throne of grace. Just as the Israelites could not store up manna for the future but had to gather it daily, so it is with My Peace. The day-by-day collecting of manna kept My people aware of their dependence on Me.
God never ceases to amaze. Just when I am determined that my circumstances have control on how I feel or what I do, the Holy Spirit reminds me that Jesus was raised from the dead so that I may have life and have it abundantly.
You’ve probably noticed the new addition to the Foster family in this picture over here. Well, that is Anthony James “AJ” Foster! He was born 2-8-17, 8 pounds 5 oz, 21 ¼ inches. It was a much smoother birth than that of his big sister, who just celebrated her second birthday March 18th.

"When I met Anthony Ponds, James Summers, and Rigdel De Lardilles back in 2011, I heard a lot about Brother Andrew Foster, and the Inspiration Ministries movement here at Quincy. But not only did I hear about him and ministry events...
"A year ago my world was shifted. I was discouraged, alone, and in need of something/someone to embrace me. It would be pious to say, “All I needed was the assurance that the Lord was with me,” because reality is sometimes you don’t feel that way...
"The newsletter is an integral part of my daily spiritual walk in prison. I don’t say that lightly and here’s why: “For I know the thoughts I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not evil, to give you a future and a hope” (Jeremiah 29:11 NKJV). The newsletter is primarily written by prisoners and ex-prisoners for prisoners..
"In one word, the Inspiration Newsletter to me means Hope. If anyone has ever done time behind the walls or been down and out, you can relate; there is always someone there to let you know just how bad you messed up, or how impossible it's going to be to bounce back...
"The newsletter means so very much to me because it has been and continues to be a great source of encouragement and inspiration to me. I am so thankful to Brother Andy for his faith in following God’s vision. In turn, he gave it to us...
