‘Just for this afternoon I forgot I was in prison’

Stefan Smart performing I Am Mark

Prisoners in jails across the UK have heard a dynamic new presentation of Mark’s Gospel explaining the call of Christ to them.

I Am Mark creator Stefan Smart has completed a month-long tour of his presentation of Mark’s Gospel in eight prisons. His August tour was part of the 20th anniversary celebrations of Daylight Christian Prison Trust.
