The Transformative Power of Prison Ministries in Australia 1

The Transformative Power of Prison Ministries in Australia

At Rhema 99.7, we believe in sharing hope and speaking life to every individual, no matter their circumstances. Prison ministries do just that—offering spiritual support, redemption, and a renewed sense of purpose to those behind bars. In February 2025, we will spotlight the transformative work of prison ministries across Australia, including interviews with former inmates who have encountered God’s love through programs like Bible League.

By shining a light on these powerful stories and resources, we hope to inspire our listeners to see the potential for restoration in every life.

“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free.” — Luke 4:18 (NIV)
