Who We Are
Bringing the Good News of Jesus Christ to Prisons for Over 45 Years
New Life Prison Ministries has been dedicated to sharing the message of hope and transformation with inmates across Canada. We provide free Bible study courses to inmates and chaplains, creating opportunities for personal growth, faith, and renewal.
What sets us apart is our commitment to building real connections. Each inmate is paired with a dedicated volunteer who personally guides them through our curriculum—reading every letter, offering encouragement, and responding with thoughtful, compassionate feedback.
Our Mission
Bringing transformation and hope through the Good News of Jesus Christ to those in Canadian prisons.
Our Vision
Through God’s empowerment, we will:
Provide support to prison chaplains in Canada
Provide every person in prison the opportunity to know the Lord Jesus through Bible correspondence courses
Connect every interested person with Christian resources upon release
