Brief History

Prison Fellowship is a corporate Christian Ministry. It is an association of prison ministries of different denominations across the Christian faith. our priorities are to win prison inmates and their families to Christ and disciple them in God's word. Hence we exhort, train and equip Christians to reach out and identify with prisoners, ex-prisoners and their families, and show them practically that the gospel of Jesus christ is able to make the difference in their lives.
