Friends of Prison Fellowship Ethiopia is a working title of Greenstones Christian Trust of which Ralph is a trustee. He is also Director for S.W. England & S. Wales.
Ralph has now visited twenty two prisons since his first visit in 2002, the visit he made in February 2009 was the seventh time that he has been.
Visiting a number of prisons where Twinkle of Hope is run with the children living in the prison, he saw a big growth in the number of children, in one prison there were thirty-two children.
Also the cost of living has risen by about 30% in the last year increasing the cost of all the work we are involved in.
There is continued growth in the numbers of Christian prisoners but sadly there is a huge lack of Bibles.
As many as 200 men would sleep in these conditions
