Nine men at the Lincoln Correctional Center (LCC) recently completed and graduated from the facility’s first Prison Fellowship Academy (PFA). When the PFA program had to be moved from in-person to virtual, due to the pandemic, staff from LCC, PFA and volunteers created the systems necessary to have the volunteers and participants meet virtually twice a week.

“The participants were grateful that we found a way to continue coming into the facility and providing programming,” said Liz Stanoschekc, Prison Fellowship Area Director for Nebraska, South Dakota and North Dakota. “These men had made a year-long commitment, and I felt we did as well, so finding a way to honor that commitment was critical.”
 

PFA is an intensive, faith-based program that leads incarcerated men and women through a holistic life transformation process. Participants are guided by PFA staff and volunteers to lead lives of purpose and productivity during their incarceration and once they are back in the community.
