PF Programs
Faith-based programs demonstrate the practical benefits of a Christian care and innovation.
Angel Tree
Angel Tree® is designed to reach the innocent victims of crime who are often forgotten…children of prisoners. Being separated from a parent at Christmas time is a painful experience. Angel Tree® touches those children with the love of Christ at Christmas by providing them with special Christmas gifts. Members of local churches volunteer to sponsor these children by purchasing a gift based on information gathered by PF volunteers and prison chaplains. The prisoner writes a card to be presented along with the gift, assuring the children that Mum or Dad misses and loves them. The true gift of Angel Tree® is the strengthening of the family bond while the family is apart.
Sycamore Tree Project®
A faith-based programme that brings victims into prisons to meet with "unrelated" offenders. The groups discuss together issues related to crime and its consequences.
The Sycamore Tree Project® is an intensive 8-12 week in-prison programme that brings groups of crime victims into prison to meet with groups of unrelated offenders. They talk about the effects of crime, the harms it causes, and how to make things right.
Sycamore Tree Project® has been tested in USA, New Zealand and in England. In each instance it has been highly successful. Victims and offenders tell us it has been life changing.
