Faith in Action: How Jessica Mount and Lauren Erickson Lead with Heart

At The Four-Seven, our mission is grounded in one simple yet profound belief: everyone deserves a second chance. Every day, we work to restore hope and dignity to those rebuilding their lives after incarceration. But this mission isn’t carried out by words alone—it’s lived out through people. People like Jessica Mount and Lauren Erickson, our devoted Prayer Team Leaders, whose faith and compassion light the path for our residents’ journeys of transformation.

Jessica and Lauren understand that reentering society after incarceration can be one of life’s most challenging transitions. It’s more than just starting over—it’s about rediscovering identity, purpose, and belonging. Through their leadership, they’ve created a safe and sacred space where prayer becomes a lifeline—a source of comfort, healing, and strength.

Each month, Jessica and Lauren lead our Zoom prayer gatherings, lifting up the unique challenges our residents face—finding employment, securing housing, restoring family relationships, and reclaiming hope for the future. In these moments of prayer, barriers fade, and community takes shape. Residents are reminded that they are seen, valued, and never alone.

Their commitment to this ministry is nothing short of inspiring. Jessica and Lauren show us that prayer is not passive—it’s an act of love in motion, a powerful expression of empathy and solidarity. When you join them in prayer, you’re not just speaking words—you’re helping build a foundation of faith beneath someone’s feet as they take the next courageous step forward.

At The Four-Seven, faith fuels restoration. And through leaders like Jessica and Lauren, that faith becomes tangible—turning belief into action, and second chances into new beginnings.
