INTRODUCTION
In 1998, Bob Spratt was invited to go to Ethiopia to meet a number of people who were beginning to establish the work of what is now known as Justice for All – Prison Fellowship Ethiopia (JFA-PFE) and based in Addis Ababa. It was thought that his experience as a Prison Chaplain might be helpful. As a result of that visit, Bob discovered that he had much more to learn than he had ever imagined. He found a group of people – some of whom had been in prison for their faith during the military regime that ended in 1991 – already working hard to try and improve conditions for the men, women and children held in Ethiopia’s prisons. Following that visit, Bob was appointed UK representative and then in 2000 brought the work under the umbrella of this Trust Since that time we have been enthusiastically involved as partners in projects of a holistic nature containing what might loosely be called "practical" and "spiritual" elements and it has been thrilling to see some of the resulting positive changes both in the prisons environment and in the lives of so many prisoners. This is a wonderful ongoing work with many opportunities and challenges calling for lots of prayerful practical support. |
