Bringing Hope
Prison Fellowship volunteers enter prisons each week visiting hundreds of prisoners needing help of a practical kind in the first instance and on Sundays take teams of Christians who help build up the ‘Church on the Inside’.

‘I was in prison and you visited Me’... - Matthew 25: 47
What in-prison Prison Fellowship accredited volunteers do:
• Visit prisoners on a regular basis
• Respond to prisoner’s practical needs
• Respond to prison officer and social worker requests for assistance
• Become a trusted confidant
• Build bridges of friendship
• Tell prisoners about activities for their children
• Work alongside Chaplains and other ministries
• Give direct help to prisoners and their families
The Australian prison population doubles every 10 years. Six out of 10 inmates released are likely to re-offend within two years. 15% of those sentenced are homeless. The percentage doubles to 30% homelessness upon release.
Teams of volunteers visit Adelaide Remand Centre and Yatala Labour Prison on a weekly basis following them through the system to Mobilong and Cadell and into the community upon request.
If you would like to contribute to Bringing Hope directly by supporting the costs associated with the Manager Prison Ministry, you can nominate any amount as a one off or a monthly partnership amount.
