Earlier in the summer the Prison Fellowship launched an exciting new project called Prayer Line.
Prayer Line allows anyone in prison to call a free number and leave a confidential message with their personal prayer request. Prison Fellowship’s team of volunteers are committed to pray for each person that calls on that day and across the following month. It is as simple as that, and there are no catches!
“Some of the most fervent prayers are said from prison cells,” says Ven. James Ridge, Chaplain General at HMPPS. “For over 40 years Prison Fellowship has enabled countless prisoners to know that someone is sharing in those prayers. This new initiative enables a more active and immediate participation – prisoners can know that their concerns are being shared safely and confidentially by faithful, prayerful Christians.
This is a wonderful facility which will help to remind prisoners that they are loved by God and that His Church is praying with them and for them.”
Prayer for today from the Prayer Line - pray with us, the Prison Fellowship and partners …
Prayer Line request: E is feeling down and would value prayer. She has an appeal in place and a court date soon. She just wants to get back to her three children and her partner.
Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer.
Amen

For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!”

Prison Fellowship’s mission is to “show Christ’s love to prisoners by coming alongside them and supporting them”… for the last 40 years they have been working with, supporting and praying with and for prisoners across England and Wales.
The Free Churches Group and our work in prison chaplaincy have worked with The Prison Fellowship (PF) for many years.
