“Imprisoned people have heavy burdens of loneliness, guilt,
bitterness, depression or confusion. We want inmates to know
that they are capable, appreciated and doing a good job.” 
– Samuel Chege, Crossroads Kenya Assistant Director

About Crossroads Kenya:

Crossroads Kenya director Jefferson Gathu and his enthusiastic, dedicated group of mentors deliver the Crossroads program to students in twelve key prisons. As of 2020, they have sixty mentors and 330 students. As in other developing nations, they not only take Bible study lessons and encouraging letters to students in prison but also provide them with basic necessities through partnerships with other ministries.
