In prison ministry it’s easy to focus our attention on the most hardened cases. When a lifelong criminal (like the subject of this week’s feature story) turns to Jesus, it’s a real cause for celebration! But it’s also a miracle when God intervenes to turn a young person away from a hopeless lifestyle. I was reminded of this when I received a letter from 16-year-old Josiah.* He says:
For me, the excitement brought on by doing

No Prison Fellowship program touches more lives than Angel Tree. Every gift presented with love to a prisoner’s child blesses not just that child, but also the caregiver, the incarcerated parent, and every volunteer who steps forward to make a phone call, take an Angel Tree tag, wrap a present, host a party, or make a delivery.
I praise God that as of today, we have received prisoner applications from 1,306 correctional facilities. Those applications represent

It is hard to believe, but my little girl has been married a month. The weekend of the wedding was fantastic. Family and friends came together to celebrate the joining of two people called by God to live as one.
The wedding day was almost surreal. There were tears of joy at the wedding ceremony, and the reception was a blast. We ate, talked to old friends, laughed, ate some more, and sat back and watched

The following commentary originally appeared on the BreakPoint website.
For many Americans, a single feeling shapes the way we see criminal justice: fear. When we think about our businesses, our communities and our loved ones, and the threat which crime poses to them, we react out of fear toward the perpetrators. And so the approach which has come to dominate much of our judicial and prison systems can be summarized as “lock ‘em up and

Our ministry to others can easily become rote, just another time slot in our calendars. But when we lose our passion for ministry, we also lose our power. In the days of the Books of Acts, when apostles Peter and John were thrown into prison, the power of their prayers was so great that it shook the whole prison. It affected the guard and the other inmates. It ultimately even impacted the guard’s family.

All I wanted to do was give the boy a hug – and I couldn’t. Between us stood a large, heavy steel door. We could only gaze at each other through a thick pane of security glass, eight inches high and eight inches wide. There was no privacy. A guard and a case worker monitored our every word and movement. There was a microphone and a speaker on both sides of the door, so we

Before getting the chance to serve with Prison Fellowship Ministries, I spent nine years as the senior pastor of a church in western Michigan. Over time, the congregation learned to walk hand-in-hand with returning citizens on their way to rejoining the community, but it didn’t happen until I as a pastor and we as a church started to take Jesus seriously.
Matthew 25 makes it clear that Jesus wants us to visit the prisoner – along

More of the 2.7 million children of prisoners in the U.S. will be connected with their incarcerated parents this holiday season, thanks to a new partnership between Prison Fellowship’s Angel Tree program and the Church of the Nazarene. The denomination’s Board of General Superintendents recently voted to encourage Church of the Nazarene congregations across the country to take part in the only nationwide, year-round effort that reaches out exclusively to children with a parent in

On a recent trip to an Oregon prison, I spent time with a group of inmates. I had the opportunity to encourage them, talk with them, and pray for them.
These men were in dark surroundings, but they were so excited about what God was doing in their lives through the ministry of Prison Fellowship! One by one, they shared large and small changes that are happening in their lives as they learn to walk with
