Our prison ministry visits places like the Senior Correctional Center and James Camp Prison to uplift, bless, donate, and help inmates in practical ways. We believe everyone deserves hope, even behind bars, and we’re here to share that hope through Jesus. Here’s what we do, how we do it, and why it matters—all in simple, everyday language.

Uplifting Through Prayer and Worship

Prison can feel dark and lonely, but we bring God’s light to inmates.

• What We Do: We sing songs like “Amazing Grace” in Twi or Ga, pray with inmates, and share Bible stories—like how Jesus forgave the thief on the cross (Luke 23:43).
• Why It Helps: Inmates feel loved and find peace knowing God cares for them.

---

Blessing with Donations

Many prisoners lack basic things. We step in to help.

• What We Do: We bring soap, toothpaste, clothes, and food like gari and beans. We also give Bibles in local languages.
• Why It Helps: Inmates feel cared for, and God’s Word gives them hope to hold onto.

---

Helping with Practical Skills

We want inmates to leave prison ready for a fresh start.

• What We Do: We teach skills like carpentry, tailoring, or farming. We also offer classes on reading and writing.
• Why It Helps: Learning a trade gives them hope for a job, and education builds their confidence.

---

Supporting Through Counseling

Prisoners often feel heavy with guilt or sadness. We listen and share God’s comfort.

• What We Do: Our counselors talk one-on-one with inmates, pray with them, and share verses like “Come to me, all who are weary” (Matthew 11:28).
• Why It Helps: Inmates feel less alone and start healing inside.
