Prison ministry

Mercy inside the gate

Prison ministry is easy to announce and hard to do well. Mercy For Life Africa goes with government authority, which means we are guests of a system, not its judges.

Inside, the work is specific. Counselling. Guidance. Preaching where we are asked. And a practical mercy that women name before they name a sermon: reusable sanitary pads during their cycle.

We do not publish the faces of prisoners. We publish the commitment: mercy does not require a clean record to walk in.
