History
The story of Agape Network is one of diversity, need, determination, love, and faith. Founded by retired Commander of Miami Dade Corrections & Rehabilitation Chaplaincy, Jose E. Hernandez, D. Min., the organization was created to spread hope and transform the lives of those affected by crime and incarceration. It has grown to become a model of integrated behavioral healthcare and spiritual wellness.
The Cuban-born Rev. Hernandez was on a mission inspired by a higher power. It was 1981 and jails were overcrowded and overwhelmed due to the Mariel Boatlift. As a chaplain, Rev. Hernandez's passion for sharing the Good News of the Gospel and connecting people to faith, brought zeal to the correctional culture. Soon, the Reverend would pave a new path of leadership for the county, going from chaplain to the first-ever religious coordinator, and later, the first-ever commander. At one point, Rev. Hernandez oversaw six correctional facilities and more than 100,000 inmates annually. His innovative contributions included the Faith Works ReEntry Program, the development of a robust volunteer network and building a multi-faith chaplaincy program that honored diversity.
In 1983, the tragic story of a woman inmate dying at the hands of her former pimp just hours after being released served as the impetus for creating the Agape Network. At the time, the newly founded faith-based non-profit was one of the only organizations in the county to offer residential programs, transitional housing, and wrap-around services exclusively for women and their children.
Today, the Agape Network's dedication to women, children, and families runs in parallel with its robust jail ministry program. The organization's residential facility remains female but encompasses working with those impacted by substance use disorders and mental illness.
In 1992, Agape moved its headquarters to South Dade transforming a former nursing home into a nationally accredited and fully integrated community health center.
Through the years, Agape's supporters have included prominent figures from government, law enforcement, the courts, the faith community, and business leaders.
