AT TABITHA 3 CHRISTIAN RESCUE CENTRE KANYUAMBORA -EMBU-KENYA AFRICA 

Dear Friends,

Today, as our children prepare for their end-of-term examinations, our hearts are filled with gratitude.

Meet Morris and Graduel—two of the 38 children at Tabitha House 3. When both of their parents were imprisoned, they were left in the care of their elderly grandmother. Unable to provide for them, she later passed away from the weight of hardship, leaving these young kids with no home, no school, and no hope.

But because of your generosity, their story changed.

Through the support of our Prison Christian Ministries (PCM) partners and sponsors, and the dedicated efforts of our volunteers, Morris and Graduel were rescued, given a loving home, enrolled in school, and surrounded with care.

Today, they are thriving, healthy, and among the best-performing students in their class. Your kindness has turned tears into hope and despair into a bright future.

Thank you for believing that every child deserves love, dignity, and a second chance.

Will you stand with us today?

Your gift can provide food, education, healthcare, and hope for another child.

“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress…” — James 1:27

Asteriko lives in a quiet village of Kabuoch, Kenya. In one day, his life changed from normal to extreme poverty. His father was taken to prison. The mud hut offered little protection, and hunger became a daily reality. School was out of the question; there was no money for school fees and uniforms. Asteriko became sad and hopeless; he became very lonely and depressed.

One day, his father was telling his story about how desperate his son was. A guard who helped at Prison Christian Ministries, Tabitha House 5, heard him and went to investigate. Recognizing Asteriko’s problem and hearing that he wanted to finish his education, he was taken into Tabitha House 5.

  He received new shoes, a school uniform, a backpack, all essential learning materials, food, and a safe place to live and learn about Jesus. 

 The transformation was incredible. As time went by, Asteriko became excited about his life. He no longer had to go hungry, and it was all because of God’s love and the partners who give each month to PCM, which makes this possible.

     Please help us to save many more like Asteriko’s. We are building Tabitha House 7 and will need help to care for 25 more children who will be living there. It costs $100 per month. Please help with what God puts on your heart. go to www.prisonchristianministries.com or contact richard@prisonchristianministries.com

Imagine being confined to a cell for most of your day, cut off from the outside world, and constantly grappling with the consequences of your past mistakes. In this bleak environment, the pages of the Bible offer a glimmer of hope, serving as a symbol of redemption for those seeking solace in spiritual guidance. Many inmates turn to the Bible to find meaning in their circumstances, seek forgiveness, and embrace Christ’s teachings of compassion and empathy. 

For the last 2 years, Prison Christian Ministries has understood that prisons in Kenya are a place of hopelessness and despair. It is hardly a beacon of hope and transformation. Still, for many, it has been a retreat from the harsh realities of the outside world and a place of rehabilitation.

For more than 2 years, Prison Christian Ministries Tabitha 2 Prisoners Bible program has provided the Word of God to prisoners, free of charge. The result has been a quiet yet profound conversion within the walls of correctional facilities. The presence of free Bibles in prisons, the milk supply program to children and Educational support for children with parents in prison have had a remarkable impact on the lives of incarcerated individuals, providing them with newfound hope, guidance, and purpose. These transformed lives serve as a witness to the remarkable power of faith and its potential to break the cycle of criminal life and open pathways to redemption and personal growth.  

The power of faith should never be underestimated, as it holds the potential to inspire redemption, heal wounds, and illuminate even the darkest corners of our world. Please support his Bible program through PCM. We have over 100 prisons that need His help.

This boy’s life changed in a single moment. With no parents or close relatives willing or able to care for them, left to face the world on their own.

The days that followed were filled with uncertainty. Often went to bed hungry, worried about where their next meal would come from. School became difficult because they lacked school fees, uniforms, and someone to encourage them. While other children returned home to loving families, some returned to loneliness and silence.

As time passed, I struggled with sadness, fear, and the feeling that had been forgotten. Some people ignored pain.

Their story reflects what many children may experience after losing a parent through death or incarceration. Without care, guidance, and support, they can face poverty, emotional trauma, interrupted education, and social isolation. Their greatest need is not only food and shelter, but also people who will stand beside them, remind them they matter, and help them build a brighter future.

At Prison Christian Ministries, we are serving with compassion and dedication to support vulnerable children and transform their lives. We have now built  5 Tabitha Houses, serving 140 Children, and have 2 more under construction, but we are out of building funds. Please help us finish them and save 50 more children from a life filled with trauma, living on the streets.

When Ian arrived at Tabitha House 4 Rescue Centre, he was a quiet and withdrawn boy. His life had been turned upside down after his mother was arrested and jailed for committing murder. With no relatives willing to care for him, Ian was left completely alone — frightened, hungry, and uncertain about his future.

For several weeks, Ian lived on the streets, surviving on little food and sleeping wherever he could find shelter. It was during this difficult period that the Tabitha House 4 outreach team found him sitting near a market, tired and afraid. After listening to his story, the team immediately took him into care.

At first, Ian struggled to adjust. He rarely spoke and often woke up from nightmares. But with time, patience, and the loving care of the Tabitha House 4 staff, Ian began to open up. He was provided with a warm bed, nutritious meals, and the emotional support he desperately needed.

A year later, the transformation is remarkable. Ian is now attending school regularly and performing well in his studies, particularly in mathematics and science. He enjoys playing football with the other children and often takes the lead in group activities. His confidence has grown, and his smile — once hidden by pain — now shines bright.

Ian has also joined the children’s Bible study group, where he loves sharing verses about hope and forgiveness. When asked about his future, Ian says he wants to become a social worker so he can help other children who have gone through difficult times like he did.

His journey is a powerful testimony of what love, care, and faith can do.

Through the support of  Prison Christian Ministries partners, Ian has found a new beginning — a place to belong, to learn, and to dream again.

We need your help to provide help to many more children like Ian who deserve a chance.

God loves a cheerful giver.

Donations for children whose parents are incarcerated and children living on the streets is an investment in human potential. By providing care, education, mentorship, and opportunities… these children build better futures while creating safer, stronger and more prosperous societies for everyone. As the saying goes, when a child is given hope, an entire community gains a brighter future

~ Children with incarcerated parents often experience loneliness, stigma, anxiety, and uncertainty.

~ Street-connected children may face neglect, abuse, hunger, and lack of protection.

At PRISON CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES, we’re breaking cycles of poverty and incarceration.

Many children of incarcerated parents face a higher risk of repeating patterns of poverty and involvement with the justice system. PCM is determined to interrupt these cycles and creating new opportunities for young souls.

Humanity is not about religion, color, country, or language. Humanity is about feeling another person’s pain as your own. It is about helping someone even when you get nothing in return. In a world where people are busy proving who is right, humanity is choosing to be kind instead of cruel, silent instead of hateful, and helpful instead of selfish. We all are fighting battles that others cannot see, so a little respect, a little patience, and a little compassion can save someone’s heart. If we cannot change the whole world, at least we can change the world for one person.

PCM, thank you also for your faithful prison ministry and for showing Christ’s love to those behind bars. Your compassion, prayers, and support bring hope, healing, and dignity to many lives.

I’m also deeply grateful for your care and concern for the children of incarcerated parents. Your kindness reminds them that they are not forgotten and that God’s love surrounds them even during difficult times.

May God continue to bless and strengthen PRISON CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES as we serve with grace, mercy, and compassion.

Dear Brent,

Below is a photograph of the newly recruited 7 kids in school uniform, newly enrolled in school and ready to go. All the 7 were expelled from school when their fathers were jailed. In fact, they had been out of school for the last year by the time we rescued them! Now they have a place they call HOME, where they are loved, taken care of, and provided with education just like the other children. We thank God for Prison Christian Ministries for the continued support.

May God continue to bless all the stewards and dear friends in this Ministry who have made this possible. God is good all the time.

Be blessed.

Peter Baru

Dear Donors,

At Prison Christian Ministries Kenya, we are working at advancing God’s Kingdom – we believe that God can transform the lives of those in prison and call them to participate with Him in His Great Commission. Through Prison Christian Ministries, we are training and equipping radical men and women to pastor and plant churches within prison walls and the communities in which they used to live. We help thousands of inmates receive effective training in church leadership knowledge.

We do this first by supplying Bibles, distributing literature, and establishing church-based seminaries inside prison walls. Then, we equip churches and ministries to come alongside released prisoners, provide discipleship, and empower them to do effective ministry in some of the most forgotten places in our cities.

It’s with great happiness to report that we have trained more 640 men and women who have experienced incarceration, and now they are powerful agents in advancing God’s Kingdom in the community. Research shows that trained leaders in prison reduce the number of repeat offenders and are catalysts for ministry growth in the community. Thanks to PCM for supplying Bibles in prison.

Therefore, it’s on this request that you support the construction of small Christian Libraries inside the prisons of Kakamega and Bungoma prisons so that we can amplify the good work you are doing together by creating free access to Christian literature in prison.

Thank you.

Brenda was a quiet girl with sad eyes. Her world was shattered the day her mother was taken away — arrested for a terrible crime. In an instant, her small home was filled with silence. People whispered, doors closed, and hearts turned away. Brenda was left alone, abandoned, and afraid.

Days turned into nights of hunger and fear. She had no one to call family, no one to care for her. Sometimes, she would sit by the roadside watching other children go to school, wondering if her life would ever be normal again.

But even in her loneliness, hope was waiting for her.

One afternoon, as Brenda sat under a tree, a kind agent from Tabitha House 4 passed by. Seeing the sadness in her eyes, he stopped and asked gently,

“Little one, what’s your name?”

“Brenda,” she whispered.

When the agent heard her story, his heart broke. He reached out, took her hand, and said,

“You are safe now. You will never suffer alone again.”

Those words marked the beginning of a new chapter.

From that day forward, Brenda’s life began to change. She was taken to Tabitha House 4, where love replaced loneliness, and hope replaced fear. She finally had food to eat, a bed to sleep in, and people who cared for her. For the first time in years, Brenda smiled again.

She began to dream. She went to school, made friends, and discovered that she was capable of great things.

Every evening, she whispered a prayer of gratitude — for the rescue, for the love, and for the second chance she had been given.

Today, Brenda’s story stands as a reminder to us all:

 No matter how dark life seems, hope can still find you.

 Love can still reach you.

 And your story can still be rewritten for good. Because sometimes, all it takes is one act of kindness to change a life forever.

Thank you, Prison Christian Ministries
