Celebrating 30 Years of Hope and Restoration

Tuesday, March 10, 2026

On February 26, 2026, community leaders, volunteers, and partners gathered at the historic Cain's Ballroom to celebrate the 30th Anniversary Gala of Operation Hope Prison Ministry. The evening was a meaningful time of reflection, recognition, and renewed commitment to bringing hope and restoration to individuals and families impacted by incarceration across Oklahoma.

During the event, Brian Bobek had the honor of speaking on behalf of Governor Kevin Stitt, recognizing three decades of faithful service by Operation Hope and the many volunteers and partners who have sustained this mission.

For 30 years, Operation Hope Prison Ministry has worked to empower families, uplift communities, and bring encouragement to those navigating the challenges of incarceration. Through partnerships with organizations such as the Oklahoma Department of Corrections, the ministry continues to make a meaningful difference by offering mentorship, support, and a message of hope to individuals seeking restoration and a new path forward.

This milestone anniversary highlighted not only the impact of the past three decades, but also the ongoing commitment of community partners and volunteers who believe that transformation and second chances are possible. Their dedication continues to strengthen families, restore lives, and bring light to those affected by incarceration throughout Oklahoma.

We are grateful for the leadership of Operation Hope and the many individuals who have faithfully invested their time, compassion, and resources to ensure this work continues for generations to come.
