A Mission Born From Purpose
"Helping is ordinary; adding ice makes it extraordinary. There are leaders, and then there are leaders who serve; among the best are those who always remember to add the ice."
David Avritt, CEO, Founder, and The Bible Mentalist, began this journey with a personal vision for restoration that has now become the lifeblood of CA Jail Outreach Nationwide and Camp Growth. Founded in 2024, these organizations carry forward the mission of standing in the gap for those impacted by the justice system. What started as a singular calling to help the incarcerated and their families has expanded into a movement of Hope for all. Today, we provide more than just programs; we offer a pathway to a second chance, delivering the mental and spiritual tools anyone needs to build a better life, a stronger home, and a great Growth Journey.
Please visit the links below to learn more about all the programs we have—each one serves as a powerful example of the many programs that will help you grow:

The Growth Journey Program (Everyone) is a major pillar of our adult outreach. This is a comprehensive mentorship and life-transformation curriculum tailored specifically for anyone seeking genuine growth in their life, home, work, church, and relationship with God. We believe that true reform begins from within, and we provide the structural tools necessary to foster sustainable, lifelong transformation.
Camp Growth (Youth/KIds Focus) - Securing the future starts with the next generation. Camp Growth consists of our national outreach, youth camps, and Junior Kids, serving as a sanctuary dedicated to breaking generational cycles. We provide a highly structured, grounded environment where kids are equipped with faith, resilience, and true leadership. Whether through our interactive summer camps or our dedicated residential spaces, we are building a stronger foundation for youth to thrive.
Growth Journey Podcast (International) - Welcome to the Growth Journey Podcast and the Nicodemus Effect—a movement, not just a podcast. Join 27K+ “gold dot” listeners across every state for weekly conversations about growing in faith, healing our families, and becoming who God created us to be. The Nicodemus Effect is when people, like Nicodemus, who came to Jesus at night, quietly turn to our digital platforms to explore the Gospel in private—without fear of judgment or pressure from others.
