THE PRISONER’S JOURNEY - TESTIMONIES

B MABUNDA

My name is B Mabunda. I did not know Jesus, but one day I was invited to church by [a friend]. When they called the people to receive the Lord Jesus as Savior, I went. And that day I found peace.

And then I went with [my friend] to  The Prisoner’s Journey 
evangelism and discipleship program where I found that Jesus came to give life to me. I now thank Jesus for the peace I have found in many ways!

PAVENDRAJ

Because of participating in the The Prisoner’s Journey, our in-prison Bible study and discipleship program, Pavendraj says, “I have gained more knowledge and experience, which I’m thankful to God for.”

With his history of drugs and gang involvement, Pavendraj identified with the testimonies presented during the course’s video series. He says,

Found by Grace Prison Ministries
“I could relate to the issues of drugs and gang involvement. It brought tears to my eyes and made me think of my son and family, and even the victims and their families. I saw the worst of criminal lives transformed—even myself giving my heart to Christ.”
Pavendraj committed to never look back. He has been reminded that no matter how hopeless things may look, “God has a plan and purpose for us all—even the worst of us,” he says. Pavendraj continues,
“I am glad God is working in our lives and providing all the spiritual support and help through people like the staff of The Prisoner’s Journey.”

Core Values

At Prison Fellowship South Africa our five Core Values are more than just words. They’re our way of life.

We understand that organizations with clearly defined values—intentionally implemented in the culture—help us act with a higher purpose. As we grow, we strive to continually develop a culture that serves you well, as you help us fulfill our vision to break the cycle of crime and restore lives, worldwide, through Jesus’s love.

We Are Authentic

We mean what we say and prove it through our actions.

  • We are truthful. There is no separation between what we say and how we act.
  • We are reliable. We do what we say we will do.
  • We are direct without being offensive, striving to have constructive disagreements that lead to productive outcomes.

We Are Growing

A growth mindset drives our team to remain effective and relevant.

  • We are lifelong learners who own, build, and grow our capabilities.
  • We value humility and welcome new ways of thinking, working, and creating.
  • We grow from our mistakes and demonstrate kindness and forgiveness.

We Value Relationship

People are the heart of our work.

  • We believe people are more important than projects and we respect and care for those around us.
  • We are team players and help each other.
  • We value collaboration, togetherness, and unity in Jesus Christ.
  • We respect the diversity of Christian traditions, history, and culture.
  • We celebrate international context and character and seek to strengthen regional and global cooperation that is grounded in independent and indigenous leadership with common vision and purpose.

We Are Proactive

We turn vision and passion into action.

  • We value work expressed as service to other and are committed to develop and implementing culturally relevant programs and services that demonstrate respect, dignity, and the worth of people as those created and loved by God.
  • We aren’t just dreamers, we’re doers. We turn our vision and passion into action.
  • We are confident in our abilities to have the courage to take risks.
  • We see problems as opportunities and act quickly to identify solutions.

We Are Accountable

Without accountability, values hold no meaning.

  • We take ownership of our work and life balance to stay happy, healthy, and effective.
  • We strive for excellence; we hold ourselves and our colleagues to high standards and live as people ready to account for how we steward our gifts.
  • We embrace the core values of Prison Fellowship International and recognize them in action.
