PRISON FELLOWSHIP: Easter

Prison Fellowship has a long history of going behind bars at Easter.

Prison Fellowship shares the Good News behind bars through hope events.

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.

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

This Easter, the name of Jesus will be proclaimed in some of the darkest corners of America.

Obedience can be a tough lesson to learn. Especially since our society upholds willfulness as a sign of strength. Willfulness can lead people to ruin, but there is Someone who is willing to forgive and forget. And He extends the offer of a better way to those who submit their will to His.

"And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." (Mat. 28:20, NIV)

In 2 Corinthians 5:17, the Apostle Paul writes, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!"
