Week of Prayer and Transformation

Prison Fellowship ministries around the world join together in prayer and action for all those affected by crime through PFI’s Week of Prayer and Transformation.  Local churches are encouraged to pray and participate in related outreach and support projects during the week that focus on the respective needs and roles of prison chaplains, prisoners, prison officials, ex-prisoners, their families and crime victims as well as the cause of justice.

Beyond Crime and Punishment

"A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out, till he leads justice to victory.  In his name the nations will put their hope."  -Matthew 12:20-21

The theme for this year’s Week of Prayer and Transformation is "Beyond Crime and Punishment."   This verse from Matthew and this year's theme remind us that those who have been hurt by crime may be bruised, but they can still be redeemed by God's grace.  The message of hope is the jubilant truth of Matthew 12.  None of us are so bruised that we are broken, none so far away that restoration by the grace of God is impossible.  Beyond crime and punishment there is God's redeeming grace!
