Based on the Gospel of Mark, the 8-session course ‘The Prisoner’s Journey’ invites participants to meet Jesus and understand what it means to follow him.

The Prisoners Journey encourages a whole-person approach to rehabilitation. It is this approach that means The Prisoners Journey has a particularly profound impact on inmates upon their release from prison.

For instance, an inmate who participates in The Prisoner’s Journey is much less likely to reoffend than other inmates. It also increases their willingness and ability to assimilate into the wider community.

Testimonials

“For me to find out that Jesus forgives me for all my sins, it was like, ‘What a massive weight off my shoulders’.... Because I was finding out more and more about how selfish I'd been through my life, the damage I'd done to my family and to my victims.”
“The Prisoners Journey really opened my eyes about compassion, empathy and just understanding where other people come from.”
“During the rest of my sentence, I was fortunate to assist in leading fellow inmates through The Prisoners Journey program. It’s a great program that has given me a great understanding of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.”
