We’re in the middle of ‘Prisons week.’ Here’s how the organisers describe it:
‘Prisons Week wants to see an end to the human suffering caused by crime and imprisonment – for all those affected. We believe that faith moves mountains, and that prayer moves God. We also believe that when we pray with faith God often moves us to be the answer to those prayers.
HOW? And so we gather together churches and organisations from across the Christian community to issue a call to prayer for change where change is needed.
WHAT? And we do this through a week-long campaign each October with print and digital resources, social channels, events and media appearances.
WHO WE ARE: Prisons Week is organised and run by 25 organisations that come together twice each year as a Board of Reference, and the smaller Working Groups who meet monthly to deliver the annual call-to-prayer campaigns.
GETTING INVOLVED: It is our hope that when people pray they will be moved, as we are, to get involved. And that the organisations that support Prisons Week represent the very best place to start.
