We're thrilled to announce our 16th Annual Camp Agape Hawaii! Join us from November 9 - 12, 2023.

The camp first started in 2006 and stems from a mission to share God’s love with children whose parents are in prison. “Agape” love is always the theme at the camp, as volunteers and junior mentors strive to demonstrate the love of Christ to the camp attendees.

Camp Agape is an annual, four-day event filled with an intentional series of activities and events that facilitate the sharing of the Gospel of Jesus Christ through love, trust, forgiveness and hope.

Join us for four days of exciting and fun activities FREE for kids ages 7-17. If you are new, please register on our website, CampAgapeHawaii.org.

- Deadline for NEW Angels is October 9.
Prior angels can only return as junior mentors.
- Deadline for Junior Mentors is October 1.
- Deadline for Mentors & Volunteers is October 9.

We look forward to seeing you at camp ... don't wait, register today!

This MUST CHANGE🙏🏽🙏🏼

"the parole board in Hawaii is one of the most powerful in the country"

"Because minimum sentences are left up to the discretion of the parole board, any patterns or deviations in sentencing are the result of voluntary ‼️‼️‼️ decision-making on the part of the board members."

More aggressive minimum sentences coincide with severe overcrowding and deteriorating prison conditions.

Today we are thankful for all the hard work of our Prison Fellowship staff, volunteers, and supporters who labor joyfully and energetically by pouring into the ministry.

Did you know this about Saguaro Correctional Center??? 💦

Did you know CoreCivic built a dedicated water treatment system to service its facilities in Eloy, ? As you can expect, desert regions like Eloy are arid, and water scarcity can be a problem. However, CoreCivic's water treatment system ensures staff and residents at four of its facilities in this region are constantly supplied with fresh, clean water. WATCH to learn about this innovative and sustainable system: https://hubs.li/Q020P0dN0
