Prison Fellowship Restoration Series Jonathan's Walk


I was always curious about prison fellowship. I heard about it in our church, but I never saw any of the results from this ministry. When I had the chance to look at this program, I jumped at it because I wanted to see more about it. We were allowed to see the first episode in The Restoration Series. This shows you the outcome of the work that those people who are involved with the prison fellowship are accomplishing. The guy in the video did something really stupid when he was a teenager and he went to prison for it. 

Jonathan really impressed me, he was the man in the video who was in prison. With the help of God and this ministry, Jonathan was able to be a good father and husband from prison. You could tell he was a new man when he was paroled. All he wanted was to spend the rest of his life with his family and do what was right. It is fantastic to see what this prison ministry is doing for some of the men in prison. It proves that God can do through men what men cannot always do themselves.

More about the series:

For years, Jonathan has been in prison. As a result, he has missed milestone moments with his family. He wasn’t there for his daughter’s first day of school or a thousand little experiences with his wife and as a father, he is devastated to be separated from those he loves most.
Jonathan has been looking forward to his release from prison for over a decade. So many life events have been missed and he is now ready to be with his wife and kids again. Of course, this transition isn't going to be easy. The odds are against him: with over half of prisoners returning to prison within two years, Jonathan is aware of the challenge set before him. #TheRestorationSeries 
Still, he is determined to take the skills he has learned into the world outside of incarceration and stay there, helping build the community that he is part of for years to come.
Prison Fellowship presents The Restoration Series: Jonathan’s Walk, a 5-part documentary film series following one man as he re-enters his community after 15 years in prison. It demonstrates in imagery, powerful storytelling and social interaction what it means to be human and the shared need of all people to see communities restored.
Though America is home to only 4% of the world's population, we house more than 20% of its prisoners. Recidivism–the tendency of a criminal to reoffend—is out of control. The Restoration Series tells the story of men and women who have experienced The Academy, a revolutionary in-prison program that is combatting incarceration and recidivism head on.
