EMEA week

We had delegates come from all over Europe, the Middle East and Asia for an alpha conference.  The team met with those involved in prison ministry to work out a strategy for alpha in prisons and to discuss churches working together to help ex-offenders when they return to the community.

It was wonderful to hear about other countries’ experiences and learn about how the international community supports those coming out of prison.  We started thinking about how Caring for Ex-Offenders can be adapted to fit the cultures of these countries. Chaplains were so eager to be involved in something like this, emphasising perhaps the global need for resettlement assistance!
