Dear Friends and Partners,

Below is a report from one of our five Tabitha Houses. God is making a difference in the lives of these children. He is looking for Christians who are willing to join Him in this mission so that these children will have all the help they need to be good disciples, and 5 more Tabitha Houses can be completed.

Dear Partners and Friends,

We’re pleased to share that in March 2026, we launched our first PCM Digital Literacy program at Tabitha House 2 for children with parents in prison. This initiative is essential for navigating, evaluating, and creating information in today’s technology-driven world. We are in the process of preparing children with parents in prison for future employability, enabling access to online education, and facilitating secure remote communication with their parents behind bars to create memories and bonding.

Currently, we are facing challenges with only one computer desktop; it’s difficult to serve 24 children under our program. We request help to procure at least 12 computers, which cost $300 per piece.

 Please pray about this. We know God will smile to see His little children getting a chance to have a good life.

As Jesus taught, “When you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous” (Luke 14:13–14). The right kind of religious practice also requires a personal commitment to growing in Christian virtue (see 2 Peter 1:5–8).

God sees, loves  and cares. 

And God sends us to care for others.

We are His hands. His feet. 

His answer to someone’s prayer.

Thank you PCM for supporting.

Dear PCM Team,

We are thrilled to report your recent visit in Bungoma Kenya Tabitha House 2 has created an impact on the lives of children with parents in prison and those on the streets.

Your visit was marked with spiritual nourishment through prayers of salvation, Bible study, Baptism, feeding, and distribution of clothes and shoes. May God bless you richly. 

We bring to your attention that following prayers of salvation to street children 27 gave their lives to Jesus Christ and 3 three boys have fully joined our church weekly Bible study program among other responsibilities around the compound. There are moments in life that touch your heart so deeply, you can never look at the world the same way again.

This is the story of Sylvenus— a young man found on the streets of Bungoma during PCM on January 25th barefoot, hungry, silent with confusion, but speaking English able to communicate with Brent Bishop. Sylvenus was rescued from the street by an old Samaritan widow who assisted him join school but eventually the widow died before completing high school. The school allowed him to finish but retained all his certificates even after passing exams. 

Sylvenus is still on the street, he is a bright boy with dreams hidden beneath years of hardship. Recently Brent Bishop spotted him and noticed his ability and now we have rescued him from the streets and brought him to the church compound for rehabilitation and we believe this is where his hope will begin to shine again. We have seen this child’s potential.

With joy, we are planning to enroll Sylvenus in a college to study as an Electrician and certificate in Theology because he’s much passionate about serving God.

For two terms, we need to pay Ksh 50,000 per term plus extra costs for meals and accommodation of around 30,000, because every child deserves a chance to dream. But when schools close, we don’t want Sylvenus to ran back to the streets that’s why we request your prayers to help us renovate wooden church houses that will be called their home especially those who are constantly coming to church every Sunday because the streets are not safe that why they are being killed almost every week.

Every time we look into Sylvenus’ eyes, we see both hope and pain. He is a child who needs more than rescue — he needs consistent care, therapy, guidance, structure, and a safe environment for him to succeed.

Again we were up early and on our way to Nakuru prison for the first time. When we entered the chapel there were approximately 80 ladies waiting for us to arrive. I could not help but notice the excitement on their faces. When Debbie Roy started to play some praise and worship you could see the joy and smiles. Then Pam Hoben did a great job sharing how Jesus died so they could be forgiven. After Pam, Becky Cummings shared how she was saved by Jesus and at the end of her sharing she gave the ladies a chance to accept Jesus into their hearts and just about all of them did.

Brent finished the service by sharing the healing power of Holy Spirit and invited anyone who needed healing – mentally, physically, or spiritually – to come forward and again most all of them did. It was not hard to tell how hungry they were for God and his love.

It was one of the best services that I ever witnessed. Powerful presences of the Holy Spirit.

Thank you Jesus.

The afternoon of day 10.

After having our lunch we drove out to Tabitha House 2, where we had a great time with the children. We also view the area and seen where they were raising cattle and chickens to support the children. After giving out gifts and just having fellowship and fun with the children. I had the privilege of baptizing 20 of them it was an amazing event I’ll certainly never forget – praise the Lord!

What a day it was – POWER

We left the hotel at a approximately 9:00am and headed to Bungoma prison. We spend all the morning doing two services one in the Ladies prison and one in the men’s prison. These services we’re both very moving and full of God’s presence.

When the second service ended at the men’s prison I asked all men that were saved to please stand up and to our surprise at least 50 stood up it was powerful.

These are the three kids I was telling you about. Their mother who was only provider died in prison and the saddest story is that even the grandma who was their guardian was buried today . Now they have no one to take care of them. Our team of Tabitha 3 volunteers attended the burial. I know we have 35 kids but this case really touches me. I am requesting to be allowed to take the kids to Tabitha House 3. We will share the little we get with them so that they can at least get back to school and achieve their dreams. Remember them in your prayers.

Children of prisoners are the least of these, the ones Jesus tells us to care for in Matthew 25:35-40. They want what so many of us take for granted: educational support, regular meals, a warm bed, a dry roof over their head. They need someone—like you—to help lift them out of despair, and develop a meaningful relationship that lets them know God cares—and so do you.

That’s why Prison Christian Ministries created a unique sponsorship program for children of prisoners, who often fall between the cracks of what other child-focused programs provide. With 19 years of experience working as a correctional officer inclined chaplaincy, I know they thrive when they receive consistent acceptance, love, and practical care, and when their needs—in these specific areas—are met:

Assurance of safety – With at least one parent in prison, the remaining parent’s (or family member’s) ability to provide care and protection is stretched thin. Children risk being trafficked into the sex trade or drawn into gang life, join terror groups in Somalia and run on the streets.

Extra support to combat social stigma – Children of prisoners are rejected by their peers simply because they have a parent in prison. That has a profound effect on their emotional and psychological well-being.

Special assistance to maintain a relationship with the incarcerated parent – In the developing country, it is difficult and costly to visit someone in a distant prison. But children need their parents. If the relationship is ruptured, they suffer.

We have now traveled from Nairobi to Norak. We were up early and headed to the prisons where we split into two teams. The women went in the women’s prison and the men went in the men’s prison. These services are always powerful and productive. The prisons of Kenya have just been open to volunteers in 2017. So the men and women really enjoyed the fellowship and listen closely to what we have to say. At the men’s prison when I closed the service there must have been 150 to 200 men who stood up and prayed the payer of Salvation with me it was wonderful. 

The afternoon we went to Tabitha House 4 where we had a lot of fun with the children. Playing soccer and volleyball. What really impressed me about Tabitha House 4 was the huge garden, these safe houses are all working to be self- sustaining and this one certainly has this foot in the door. 

Thank you for supporting us it’s a wonderful work wish you were here to see it. God bless you all.
