Prisons

Bringing true freedom behind bars — by making disciples and meeting real needs in Uganda’s prisons.

What IMFC does:

  • Works with both prisoners and guards to train disciple makers for Jesus, offering hope that lasts beyond prison walls

  • Partners with Uganda’s prison system so that many prison guard trainees complete the IMFC discipleship course before graduating and serving across the country’s 212 prisons.

  • Supports prison staff and inmates in practical ways:

    • Sponsors netball teams for guards

    • Provides beds, septic systems, soap, and feminine products for prisoners

Adapting through challenges:

  • During COVID, IMFC staff could no longer enter prisons directly.

  • But because thousands of prisoners and hundreds of prison employees had already come to Christ through IMFC’s ministry, the Gospel kept spreading inside the prisons.

  • IMFC continued to help by supplying books, meeting essential needs, and funding prison projects whenever possible.
