This was the headline recently on the BBC website. Tragically, this was also the reality of Jay, a man who ended up in prison after a life of crime.
But thanks to people like you, he found hope and redemption behind prison walls through being told about Jesus. Jay is now released from prison, attending church and telling other people about the faith he has in the gospel.
“There are loads of people in the prison system that need to hear this message,” says Jay. “Everybody out there needs to hear the word of God.”
The BBC report confirms the need for the light of the gospel in prisons which are becoming increasingly overcrowded. Our Prisons and Resettlement team are responding to this urgent need. Every week, alongside church volunteers, they are meeting prisoners and sharing the good news of Jesus. And, amazingly, many of them are turning to follow him.
