The International Prison Chaplains Association (IPCA) have been gathering and sharing some news and stories about how prisons and chaplaincy around the world are being affected by COVID-19.
We are going through unprecedented times and the prison sector globally has been affected by this pandemic, like all of our communities have.
There are articles from all across the world, including Canada, UK, Australia, US and Colombia.
You can read these HERE.
IPCA Europe have also been sharing some news and reflections about responses in experiencing Coronavirus in prisons across Europe. You can read these HERE.
Please do take some time over the next few days to pray for the work of the International Prison Chaplains Association and also please pray for the work of our Free Church Prison Chaplains and the staff and prisoners they serve across England and Wales.
Pray with us:
Lord God, Blessed are you, creator of the universe. You have called us to serve you in bringing good news to the poor and liberty to those in prison. Look with kindness, in these challenging and unsettling times, upon all who serve you in this ministry, grant us the wisdom, knowledge and understanding of your mission to all. Fill our hearts with zeal and perseverance as heralds of the Gospel. Amen
IPCA’s mission is: “Uniting, encouraging and equipping...
a global network of prison chaplains as they share God’s love and restoring justice.”
