Our Story

Philip and Debbie Reardon are lovers of the Lord Jesus Christ. They were called into prison ministry in the early 1990’s. They met doing prison ministry while Philip himself was serving a 30-year sentence in Trenton State Prison, NJ. Through the process of time, the Lord sovereignty knit their hearts together as one and Our Father’s Persistent Love Ministries was born. With Philip being on the inside, it fostered a unique opportunity to do prison ministry. As he often quotes, “you can’t snow the snowman.” With Philip living inside, he knew all the men and who they were, and all the inner workings for the prison. Their ministry quickly grew and expanded into county jails and other prisons. This began a multi-faceted ministry that sought to meet the needs of all prisoners, men and woman alike. Philip was finally released after 30 years and asked Debbie to marry him. They are now joyfully ministering together from the outside.
