An Introduction
to Alpha for Prisons and Caring for Ex-Offenders
This introductory guide gives an overview of the
international work of Alpha for Prisons and Caring
for Ex-Offenders and suggests ways of getting
involved.
Alpha for
Prisons - Training Manual
This manual proves invaluable advice on setting
up an Alpha course in a prison context. Includes
sections on how to get started, how to encourage
people onto an Alpha course, how to follow-up
an Alpha course and how to fit an Alpha course
into a prison regime.
Caring for
Ex-offenders - a handbook for churches
Due to the Alpha course and other prison initiatives,
many men and women whilst serving prison sentences,
are changing and receiving a new life in Jesus
Christ. This manual is designed to help those
that would like to get involved in reintegrating
these men and women into society once released.
It covers pre-release steps, discipleship and
support, working with sex offenders and receiving
the men and women who have just left prison into
your church.
The God
Who Changes Lives - the story of Paul Cowley
As a young man, Paul Cowley ended up in prison
and later, after a brief marriage, became estranged
from his son, Clinton. In this video Paul tells
the remarkable and moving story of how God changed
his life and how, following prayer, he was reconciled
with his son whom he had not seen for more than
six years. This 20-minute video is designed to
encourage men and women in prison to go on an
Alpha course.
Breaking
the Cycle of Crime - video
Following the amazing testimony of ex-offender
'Finny' and hearing from church leaders working
in this ministry, this 15-minute video encourages
churches to get involved in prison ministry and
to make their church a place where ex-offenders
are welcomed and supported.
