COVID-19 may have closed America’s prisons, but it can’t shut out the hope of the Jesus. We are seeing new and innovative ways developing to share the Gospel with the incarcerated.

For more than 40 years, Prison Fellowship has celebrated Easter behind bars with the incarcerated. This year, we are offering a virtual Easter event.

I’ve been a drug addict, a criminal, a convict. I’ve come out on the other side because of my relationship with Jesus.”

Prison Fellowship recently partnered with Hillsong NYC to bring its worship band inside Rikers Island Detention Center in New York City. The result was “amazing to see.”

Annie Goebel and her daughter know from experience what it’s like to be separated from your loved ones because of incarceration. At a recent Hope Event in South Dakota, the mother and daughter teamed up to share their testimony of the God’s restoration in their lives.

'Your past doesn't disqualify you from the Kingdom. As a matter of fact, it qualifies you for it.'
