Placing Former Prisoners on Survivor or The Amazing Race

Why not?

Seems like a great opportunity to show the "after" of Christ's transforming work in their lives. We could help a dozen capable, interested and interesting former prisoners (only very strong believers) with their applications and video, playing up the fact that they are former prisoners, so as to give them the best chance of success.

Sure the chances that one of our folks would get selected are small, but if one did, how great would that be? Millions of American viewers seeing a [ohmigosh!!] "Former Prisoner" on a team in Survivor, and ... wow, this person is actually the nicest person on the show. Huh???

There's a movement building tactic for you...

[FWIW, I can find nothing in the Survivor app which prevents a former prisoner from applying.]
