Here’s the thing about jail and prison ministry. PRESENCE MATTERS.

Day after day, Good News Global chaplains are there, inside jails and prisons, walking alongside men and women when they need it most. They listen. They pray. They counsel. They open God’s Word. And they faithfully point people to the hope and freedom found in Jesus Christ.

Here’s the thing about jail and prison ministry. YOUR INVOLVEMENT MATTERS.

We are so grateful for the prayers and support of our ministry partners, who make it possible for our chaplains to be present behind bars.

Because of you, a man named Frank found eternal hope behind bars.

A Good News Global chaplain met him during routine rounds. As they talked, it became clear that Frank was searching.

So the Chaplain opened Scripture and shared the Gospel. Frank understood. Nothing held him back.

Right there—through the iron bars—he gave his life to Jesus.

Two days later, he showed up to Bible study… ready to grow.

This is what your support makes possible. Thank you!

The Gospel Doesn't Stop at the Prison Gate!

When Theogene entered Rubavu Correctional Facility in Rwanda, he was serving a three-year sentence for crimes he had committed.

But behind those prison walls, something happened that would change the direction of his life.

Through a Community Bible Study (CBS) class, Theogene gave his life to Jesus Christ.

And when he walked out of prison, he carried something home with him that he couldn't keep to himself—the Good News of Jesus!

He began sharing his testimony with his wife, family, and neighbors. He opened God's Word with them, telling them how Christ had changed his life and showing them the same love he had experienced from fellow believers in prison.

And people noticed.

His wife and neighbors testified that Theogene had truly changed.

Today, Theogene and Eric (pictured beside him), both recently released and both having come to Christ while incarcerated, are reminders of something extraordinary:

The Gospel doesn't stop with one transformed life. It multiplies!

One person hears the Good News. One life is changed. And that person begins sharing Jesus with others—reaching families, neighbors, and communities far beyond prison walls.

This is the power of the Gospel. This is freedom behind bars. And this is how the Good News keeps spreading!

🙏 Pray for Theogene, Eric, and their families as they continue growing in faith and sharing the hope they've found in Jesus Christ.

Equipped to Serve. Ready to Share the Gospel!

Behind every Gospel encounter in a prison is someone who has answered God's call to show up, share His Word, and bring hope to those behind bars.

And that calling deserves to be strengthened!

On October 9, our Good News Global chaplains and volunteers in Nigeria gathered in Abak, Akwa Ibom State, for a day of training, encouragement, and renewed commitment to their mission.

Together, they revisited the heart of Good News Global's ministry, shared experiences and ideas, and explored ways to serve even more effectively in correctional facilities.

Because when we strengthen those who carry the Gospel, we strengthen the ministry reaching those who need to hear it.

We're grateful for these faithful men and women who continue to say YES to God's calling!

🙏 Will you join us in praying for our Nigeria team as they bring the hope and love of Jesus Christ to incarcerated men and women and their families?

Some people believe there's no hope once you're behind bars.

We couldn't disagree more.

Because we know that no jail or prison wall can keep out the hope of Jesus Christ.

Every day, Good News Global chaplains and volunteers walk into jails and prisons worldwide to share that hope with men and women who may feel forgotten, broken, or beyond redemption.

They listen. They pray. They open God's Word. And they share the Good News that no one is beyond the reach of God's love, grace, and forgiveness.

A prison sentence doesn't have to define a life. Jesus offers a freedom that no prison wall can take away.

Will you help us carry that hope behind bars?

Someone behind bars is waiting.

Waiting for someone to listen.
Waiting for someone to care.
Waiting for someone to open God's Word.

Through faithful presence and caring relationships, Good News Global chaplains invite incarcerated men and women to discover the hope, forgiveness, and freedom found in Jesus Christ.

The Gospel changes everything.

OVERFLOWING WITH HOPE.

What would it look like if hope overflowed behind prison walls?

It might look like a Bible opened for the first time. A prayer whispered in a cell.
Someone discovering that they are loved by God.

A chaplain showing up again and again until someone finally believes, "Maybe I haven't been forgotten after all."

Scripture calls our God “the God of hope.”
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” — Romans 15:13

As we enter a season when we’ll be talking a lot about hope, this is the hope we mean.
Not temporary optimism. Not wishful thinking.
The lasting, life-changing hope found in Jesus Christ.

The Gospel changes everything.

HOPE HAS A NAME.

Hope is more than believing things will get better. For someone behind bars, circumstances may not change quickly. A sentence may remain. A family may still be far away. Tomorrow may still be uncertain.

And yet, there can still be hope. Because Christian hope isn't rooted in circumstances. It's rooted in a Person.
“But as for me, I watch in hope for the LORD, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.” — Micah 7:7

This is the message our chaplains carry every time they walk through prison doors:
You are seen.
You are not forgotten.
Your story isn't over.
There is hope in Jesus Christ.
And hope has a name. His name is Jesus.

WHEN HOPE FEELS FAR AWAY.

Behind bars, hope can be hard to hold onto. Days become months. Months become years. Relationships change. Families move forward. And it can begin to feel as though the world has forgotten you.

But God has not.
“But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.” — Isaiah 40:31

Every day, Good News Global chaplains have the privilege of reminding men and women behind bars that their circumstances do not have the final word.

There is hope. There is grace. There is a Savior. And no prison wall can keep Him out.

That’s the hope we carry behind bars. Be a part of the movement!

Sentenced to Death. But No Longer Afraid.

He sits in prison in Egypt under a death sentence.

But today, he says something remarkable:
“I committed every kind of evil, but now I am a son of the Lord Jesus. He has forgiven all my sins, and I am not afraid of execution.”

His story of transformation began unexpectedly. His wife came to know Jesus as her Savior through a Good News Global chaplain. During her regular visits to prison, she prayed with her husband and prayed for him. And a Good News Global ministry team continued showing up—walking alongside him behind bars while also caring for his wife and their four children.

Then, he surrendered his own life to Jesus!

His circumstances have not changed. His sentence remains. But his heart has. He has turned from the life he once lived and is now walking in repentance and faith.
This is the hope of the Gospel: even when an earthly sentence cannot be undone, no life is beyond the redeeming grace of Jesus Christ.

Please pray for this man, his wife, and their four children—and for the faithful ministry team continuing to walk beside them. The Gospel changes everything.
