Prison Visitation 2026“Hope in Hopelessness” — ECWA Central Area Youth Fellowship

Dear brethren,
The ECWA Central Area Youth Fellowship is reaching out to you as we prepare for our upcoming Prison Visitation, themed “Hope in Hopelessness,” scheduled for Saturday, 17th October 2026 at 9:00 am.
We believe this is more than a visit — it is an opportunity to take the love of Christ to those behind prison walls, encourage the brokenhearted, share the hope of the Gospel, and remind them that they are not forgotten.
We kindly solicit your prayers, support and partnership as we prepare for this outreach. Your contribution, no matter the size, can help us provide transportation, materials, welfare items and other necessities for the visitation.
Most importantly, pray with us that God will prepare hearts, grant us favour, and use every word, act of kindness and moment of fellowship to bring hope, restoration and transformation.
- Sat. 17th October 2026
- 9:00 am
- Free bus available
- ECWA Central Area church premises
You can partner with us through:
- Prayers — for the inmates, the ministry team and the success of the outreach.
- Partnership — by joining us physically or supporting the mission.
- Material support — through items that can be given to the inmates.
- Financial support — to help meet the needs of the outreach.
Together, we can be a channel of hope to someone who needs to know that God has not forgotten them. Thank you for standing with the ECWA Central Area Youth Ministry as we take Christ beyond the walls.
“I was in prison, and you visited Me.” — Matthew 25:36
