Story

Sunday 18th June - Monday 19th June 2023

Location: Manchester

What we're doing...

As the prisons team we're joining together and sleeping out under the stars (not as nice as it sounds) to raise money towards The Message Prisons Team.

We'll be braving the elements with little for protection other than some make shift coverings.

Come rain or shine, cold or warm, wind or fine... we'll be out through the night in Manchester.

For those of you who know me, I'm as nesh (meaning: weak and delicate, in particular in being susceptible to the cold) as they come, so this is going to be tough and I don't imagine we'll get much sleep either!

I would really appreciate your support to spur me on through it, by sponsoring me through my personal JustGiving page.

Each person taking part is representing their prison and area, therefore the money you donate towards myself will come back into the investment we make in the South Wales prisons here!

Why we're doing what we're doing...

Around 90,000 men, women and teenagers across the UK are currently serving prison sentences. With many of them finding themselves at the lowest point in their lives they need to hear about the hope Jesus offers them.

Day in, day out for the last 18 years, our Message in Prisons teams have been going into prisons sharing the good news of Jesus in word and deed.

Whilst sharing the gospel is at the heart of what the team do, this isn’t just through chapel services and Bible study groups.

Peacemaker courses teach individuals the skills they need to help them resolve conflict and manage their emotions; mentoring programmes equip them for life outside of prison and music classes provide a way that relationships can be built with prisoners.

Today we’re working in prisons throughout England and in Wales, and God is moving in prisons. Lives are being transformed forever as people find the hope and love Jesus offers.
