Prison Fellowship International, Bible League to distribute 620,000 Bibles in prisons

Prison Fellowship International and Bible League International announced a new five-year agreement to provide 620,000 Bibles to prisoners in 20 countries. The initiative builds on a partnership that began in 2019, which has already supplied more than 570,000 Bibles to inmates who completed Prison Fellowship International’s in-prison program, The Prisoner’s Journey. The program is offered in more than 700 prisons worldwide and aims to introduce inmates to the Christian faith.
