“Sometimes, the trials and tribulations that you go through [bring] you to a point where God wants you to be.”
—Michael
When Michael’s aunt, affectionately known as “Aunt Pudding,” visited him in prison for the first time, she may have appeared to arrive empty-handed. But what she actually brought him was priceless: an encouraging word she felt was from the Lord.
She did not know how much of Michael’s sentence he would end up serving, but she did feel certain of this:
“Whatever God [has] planned for you, these are your training fields.”
By reaching prisoners and their families with the message of God’s unconditional love, you help heartbroken families know they are precious and valued in God’s eyes. With your help, we can bring the hope of the Gospel to even more prisoners and their families—and transform more lives for eternity!
At a Prison Fellowship® Angel Tree STEM camp in Dallas, children participated in hands-on activities that challenged them to solve problems and to imagine futures as engineers, leaders, and inventors. See how hope, possibility, and purpose came alive at this event.
From Prison, With Love
The holidays should be special—but, for children with incarcerated parents, they can feel empty without their loved ones there to share in the festivities. What if the Church could help bridge that gap through Angel Tree® Christmas? Watch how one simple gift can have a lasting effect.
