PRISON FELLOWSHIP: what to expect when visiting prison

  • Prison Fellowship News & Updates
My First Prison Visit

When I first arrived, I could only see the prisoners through the lens of their crimes. However, as I watched the assistant warden and interacted with the inmates myself, I realized that they are just like me. We are all broken sinners in need of redeeming grace. None of us is a statistic to the One who leaves the 99 to seek out the one lost sheep.
