Serving Families and Children of Prisoners
The Child’s Journey
Cambodia
Mentoring is an essential part of both The Child’s Journey and PromisePath. Volunteer mentors are recruited from local churches who support the programs. These Christian mentors not only share the Gospel with children and their families but also speak into their lives. They encourage them to stay in school, excel academically and address problems while encouraging and giving them hope. They also provide connection to the local church which serves as another source of support for families.
Prison Fellowship Cambodia mentors share the Gospel through donated Scripture resources during mentoring session.
Rwanda
Each quarter, The Child’s Journey beneficiaries receive a home visit from their Christian caseworker. Home visits are vital to monitoring children and families who are enrolled in the program. During the home visits, caseworkers assess family needs, deliver services and provide much needed support. Home visits ensure the children and families receive all the love, support and care they need.
Zambia
Caregiver support groups through Prison Fellowship Rwanda are very active. The groups provide much-needed support to the participants by ensuring that caregivers know they are not alone and have support from their peers who are on a similar journey.
PromisePath

Prison Fellowship Benin staff members were hard at work putting together school kits for enrolled children at their Back-to-School event.
The Philippines
Children enrolled in PromisePath through Prison Fellowship Philippines are given the opportunity to join a mentoring group to engage with their peers and learn from local Christian mentors.
