ROAD TO SECOND CHANCES PRAYER WALK 2023
This April, join Prison Fellowship® and more than 800 churches, organizations, businesses, and passionate supporters of second chances in unlocking brighter futures for approximately 70 million Americans with a criminal record.
As Christians, we believe in the power of prayer and know God is present when two or more gather in His name. Help us cover Columbus and our nation with prayer for people affected by crime and incarceration! This event will feature real-life stories of people living out their second chance, along with guest speakers to lead us in prayer and live music from the Rock City Church prison worship team.
After the walk, please join us for a reentry resource fair featuring local reentry support programs and organizations.
