There are more than 10 million people in prison around the world. Our vision is that every inmate will have the opportunity to explore the Christian faith through Alpha.

Prisoners often experience a sense of loss and have a hunger to find purpose and meaning in life. Alpha can give them a chance to ask life’s big questions and find out about the Christian faith in a safe, informal and friendly environment.

Alpha is ran in prisons in 55 countries by the volunteers from all christian denominations, as well as chaplains and prison staff.

On 24th June (the day after the PMC17 Europe) we invite you to come together with other volunteers and learn how to run Alpha in the context of prison.
