A BRIEF HISOTRY
After the pandemic, prisons faced a significant need for support. Some teams started engaging in sports programs within prisons, but they lacked resources, training, and networking opportunities. There was a strong desire for these elements. In 2023, a group of individuals began brainstorming ideas on how to assist those involved in sports ministry in prisons or support existing prison ministries. By 2024, this group convened for an in-person meeting in Kenya to establish a plan for creating strategies and resources to empower individuals interested in or currently serving in prisons.
WHY PRISONS
WITH OVER 12.1 MILLION PEOPLE IN PRISON, THEY ARE ONE OF THE LARGEST UNREACHED PEOPLE GROUPS
Islolated, rejected, cut off from the world and with little to no rehabilitation prison are a prime enviroment to serve and bring the light of Christ. Most are disconnected from their families and in many countries are serving their sentences in remote and isolated regions.
We have been called to visit. We have been called to love others. If we want change in society we have to be willing to get involved and help break the cycle of crime.
OVER 80% OF THE WORLD CONNECTS THROUGH SPORT. We were created for movement. Sports are one of the best ways to enhance: Body—our physical health and fitness, strength, flexibility; Mind—developing a positive mindset and problem solving abilities; Soul—cultivating community, and encourage self-awareness
