Changing Lives, Minds, and Communities through Jesus Christ
Over the years, many programs have been created to meet the rapidly evolving needs of prisoners and their families and to increase awareness among the free population.
PRISON MINISTRY PROGRAMS
 Angel Tree
It starts with a gift. But it's so much more.
Every child has a story. For 1.5 million American children, that story is filled with the abandonment, loneliness, and shame that comes from having a mom or dad in prison. At Angel Tree, we find ways to reach out to these children, by sharing Christ's love with them at Christmas and by developing year-round relationships. In the end, it's so much more than giving Christmas gifts-it's about restoring families.
 InnerChange Freedom Initiative
A real crime stopper.
Your taxes have been used to keep offenders in prison. Wouldn’t you like to invest in something that helps keep them out? Out in the community living productive, responsible lives . . . rather than reverting to crime and heading back to prison? The InnerChange Freedom Initiative®—a values-based reentry program developed by and affiliated with Prison Fellowship—is proving that prisoners can get out and stay out.

 Justice Fellowship
Beyond crime and punishment.
Our prison system is broken. More than 700,000 prisoners are released from prison every year. More than half of them will be back in prison within three years. Justice Fellowship believes it is time to restore justice to our prison system, make our communities safer, and reconcile victims and offenders.

 Operation Starting Line
We're not afraid of the dark.
Prison can be a dark place, but we believe that there is a light that shines brighter than the shadows of prison. Prison Fellowship partners with dozens of Christian ministries to bring the transforming message of Jesus Christ to prisoners across the country through in-prison outreaches known as Operation Starting Line (OSL). Will you join with us to bring the light to the darkness of prison?

 Out4Life
Can ex-prisoners stay out for life?
We all pay a high price when parolees go back to prison—prisoners pay with their freedom; the community with the safety of its streets; citizens with their taxpayer dollars. By teaming up with corrections officials, community leaders, and other faith-based organizations, Prison Fellowship is trying to stop these trends. Will you join with us to cut incarceration costs, make safer communities, and keep prisoners out for life?

WORLDVIEW MINISTRY PROGRAMS
 BreakPoint
What's a Christian to think (and do)?
"In an increasingly hostile, secular culture, Christians are faced with issues and choices we’ve never had to deal with before. BreakPoint is here to help you develop a robust Christian worldview—seeing, understanding, and engaging the world from a biblical perspective." - Chuck Colson

 Centurions Program
Turn the world right side up.
This intense distance-learning venture prepares Christians to live out their faith authentically and powerfully in the world and unites them in a continuing network as agents of transformation from the inside out.
