We continue to be encouraged by feedback from prisoners who appreciate receiving support from Daylight. It was particularly good recently to hear from Hudson who has had contact with a couple of our chaplains, and uses our Letter Writing Ministry, as well as receiving regular Written Studies and other literature.

He writes, “I would like to start by thanking you all for your support during my incarceration thus far (2 years), as I come towards the end of my time residing at His Majesty’s pleasure in November, I reflect on how my faith has grown, strengthening me in the process, and how Daylight CPT has been instrumental in this growth.

I also wish to commend you on your wonderful Written Studies and congratulate you on the idea of including the recent wallet/credit card sized Bible verses, I will certainly be carrying some of these with me wherever I go!

Once again thank you for everything, I’m looking forward to hearing from you and receiving the next study”.

Please pray that this contact will continue to be a blessing to Hudson and that he will be kept on the right path after his release in November.

Give thanks that we are able to regularly supply prisons with various items of literature, including They Met the Lord Jesus daily reading booklets, Ultimate Questions, various courses from Emmaus Bible School, and Bible Text Postcards. These are often taken by prisoners at the end of services and other activities and our chaplains are also able to distribute them. Please pray that these resources will be read by many.

We are grateful to God that our regular Written Studies also reach a growing number of prisoners, with many copies sent out from our office directly to individual prisoners, and others distributed by chaplains.

Over the summer, we took a break from our regular series to look at the prayer of Jesus in John 17, and are now returning to our series in Mark’s Gospel. Please pray that these study sheets will be a blessing to Christian prisoners, encouraging them as they seek to live for Christ, and that they will also be a challenge to others, helping them to see their need of the Saviour.

Demand for our Letter Writing Ministry continues to grow, with new requests coming in regularly. We are grateful that over the summer, particularly through our stand at the Keswick Convention, new people have also expressed an interest in volunteering to write to prisoners, enabling us to continue to meet this growing need.

Please pray that our volunteers will be given wisdom as they write and that this contact will continue to be a blessing to many.

Many of our chaplains have opportunities to run regular Bible Study groups, working through various books of the Bible. These are made up of prisoners with a range of Bible knowledge, but it is wonderful how eager they are to learn and participate in discussions and to see them going away with a greater knowledge of Christ and who He is. Please pray that this will not just be head knowledge, but something that brings real and lasting change to their hearts and lives.

Give thanks too for the progress that is being made with our Unlock Mark project, as we work to update the current Christianity Explored Prison Edition (CEPE) course for the internet age. Praise God that we have recently received a grant from a Christian trust, matching a generous gift given by supporters last year, meaning that we now have the needed funds. Please pray for all those involved in the project.

Praise God for the way He continues to provide the needed resources for Daylight’s ministry. We are so thankful for all of the individual supporters and church fellowships that support us prayerfully and financially.

Give thanks too that we have recently been able to take on Michael as our Fundraiser, meaning we will be able to reach out to more grant giving trusts. Please pray that he will be helped as he puts various applications together, some for general funds, and others for specific ministries and projects, and for good responses to these. Pray too that the resources needed will continue to be provided, enabling us both to continue our existing work, and also to grow into new areas.

As they make their way through the wings carrying out Statutory Duties, our chaplains have many good opportunities to chat to both prisoners and prison staff. They are often stopped by prisoners with good questions about spiritual things, and then others overhear and join in. Please pray that the Lord will bless these conversations.

Coming alongside prisoners who have lost loved ones also continues to form a large part of chaplaincy work; offering support and sharing Bible passages with them, as well as making arrangements for attending or watching funeral services. Please pray for wisdom and sensitivity in these situations.

Our chaplains also work to link prisoners with churches in the areas they will be living in after release. Please pray that these connections will be a blessing to many.

11/10/2026

Each Sunday, Daylight Prison Chaplains and volunteer teams visit prisons to run or take part in services. Attendance varies from prison to prison; from congregations of two or three in some open prisons, up to seventy in other higher category prisons.

These times give good opportunities to open up a passage from God’s Word, encouraging those who are believers and helping them to grow in their knowledge of Christ, but they also enable us to share the gospel with many who have never heard it before. Prison officers are also present and often listen attentively. Please pray for Daylight Chaplains and volunteers running these services today and in the coming weeks, and for the prisoners and officers who attend, that the messages preached will be used to speak to them.
