Respond to God’s Call to Seek Justice | | God loves justice and calls His people to seek it. But how do we respond to our complex—and broken—criminal justice system? Outrageous Justice is a free small group study developed by Prison Fellowship ® to help followers of Jesus explore the American criminal justice system through a biblical lens and learn hands-on ways to pursue justice, hope, and healing in your community. WHY DO WE NEED OUTRAGEOUS JUSTICE? God calls us to remember the prisoner (Hebrews 13:3)—a call that is more urgent than ever, as witnessed in the alarming statistics about our criminal justice system. 2.2 million Americans are in jail or prison. 70 million adults have a criminal record. 2.7 million children have a parent behind bars. 4.5 million Americans are on probation or parole. 2 out of 3 released prisoners will be re-arrested within three years. 28,000+ people are arrested every day. | | OUTRAGEOUS JUSTICE IS OFFERED FREE BY PRISON FELLOWSHIP Many places of worship are closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so this is an excellent opportunity to participate in an exploration of God’s heart for justice. You can request your free digital or hard copy that will include a study guide with action steps, teaching videos, and more. You can host a study of your own or join a free Online Outrageous Justice Small Group. | | |
