Kenya

It took several months for the logistics, but their prayer for Bibles and Christian material became a reality. This container to Kenya was received and unloaded by inmates from the Kenya Prison’s Fraternity. So powerful to see the staff praying and reading the word together. This material will be distributed to churches and many of their local prisons. Their ministry, Crime Si Poa, was started because of the alarming rate of youth incarceration. 75% of inmates are under 30 years old. The way to reach and transform the youth is by giving them the Word of God.

A quote from the founder, Peter Ouko, on receivng the Bibles & Christian books from Mission Cry:

“This is so humbling and a huge blessing to the ministry of Christ. We truly appreciate the donation and look forward to receiving it.”

The Lord has granted favor to Mission Cry’s ministry in this Kenyan prison, and they plan to continue this relationship and even reach other prisons.

Kenya (MNN) — Women make up about 18 percent of Kenya’s prisoner population. Unfortunately, prison conditions have not changed much since the early 1900’s. Sometimes firsttime offenders are even imprisoned alongside habitual felons. All in all, life in a Kenyan prison can be incredibly disturbing and hopeless.

Mission Cry ministers in a women’s prison near Nakuru, Kenya, distributing Bibles to the female inmates there.

Rev. Jason Woolford, President of Mission Cry, says, “While there’s definitely some very guilty people in this prison, I think of those that, may be over a misdemeanor, are sitting in a jail cell for years. Due to injustice and no order, these people are sitting there.”

More than just prison reform, these women are experiencing total heart changes as they begin new relationships with Jesus Christ.

“For those that are guilty and those that may have been wrongfully charged, they have hope. True hope only comes from the Word of God. They’re getting to be able to read that and then also be discipled so it’s a real blessing.”

Reverend Woolford makes the news in Ghana.

A local news station heard about the Bible distribution. The news station sent a news crew to cover the story. The interview was broadcast over the whole country of Ghana and the requests for Bibles have been overwhelming. What a difference we have made!
