> Who is Prison Fellowship

The Solution: Jesus Christ, Prison Fellowship and YOU

Real and lasting change happens from the inside out through a reconciled relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

But prisoners and their children cannot believe in Him unless they hear about Him. And how can they hear about Him unless someone tells them? Prison Fellowship meets prisoners and their children where they are and proclaims the Good News of the Gospel.

You will help transform inmates’ lives with the Gospel and Break the Cycle, Turn the Tide with your gift.

Bold Initiatives to Break the Cycle

Creating Lasting Change

Only new life in Jesus can reconcile prisoners to God, their families and communities. Your gift will support this ministry to inmates through:

  • Bringing the Good News of Jesus to prisoners
  • Discipling prisoners behind bars and mentoring them as they return home

Together, with the help of friends like you, prisoners are turning away from a life of crime. And by simply being present in their children’s lives, ex-prisoners are significantly reducing the risk that these kids will fall prey to a life of crime, too.

Healing Family Wounds

Every family has a story. For 1.7 million children in America that story is filled with the abandonment, loneliness and shame that come from having a mom or dad in prison. We reach out to these children through:

  • Angel Tree® Christmas
  • A connection to a local church

You can share the love of Jesus and help develop year-round, Christ-centered relationships. You will reconnect children to their parents so that transformed moms or dads can help give their story a new beginning.

Building Community Connections

Discipleship must be ongoing so prisoners and their children can continue to walk with Christ and hold God’s Word in their hearts for a lifetime. You can help these families beat the odds and find success through:

  • Parent training and support
  • Church collaboration so released prisoners and their families are surrounded by a community of believers
  • Faith-based rehabilitation programs, job training and housing assistance

Together we can restore families and communities.

“When you go into prison, you’re fighting Satan. The Lord used me so I could grow spiritually and understand the Bible, so I could work with guys who don’t know the Bible. Now God is my boss.”
