Welcome to Prison Fellowship Nigeria

Prison Fellowship Nigeria is a Christian response to the hurts and harm caused by crime to both the offender, the victim and the community. We seek to restore all those affected by crime through the ministry of the word, prayers and practical action.

Registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission since 1989, Prison Fellowship Nigeria now has chapters in 23 states and Abuja and has hundreds of volunteers from all churches who daily troop behind the bars, bringing the message of hope and reconciliation to those incarcerated.

We need your active support and participation to succeed in this work.
