Prison Fellowship Mission Ambassador Jermaine Wilson has an incredible update on a recent Father's Day Hope Event:

"Amazing day at Prison Fellowship Father’s Day Hope Event at Riverbend Correctional Facility in Milledgeville, Georgia!

"Over 40 men surrendered their lives to Jesus. Seeing men give their lives to Christ is a powerful reminder that Jesus will meet us right where we are.

"Prison may limit movement, but it cannot stop the move of God or the hope found in Christ."
