As I leave Alabama, I am grateful to all of you who have taken time out of your Easter weekend to follow along with Chuck and the Prison Fellowship crew on our special trip.
This weekend was eye-opening and inspiring for me. But as I talked with Deborah Daniels, Alabama volunteers, and Angel Tree founder Mary Kay Beard, I was especially encouraged to learn that Prison Fellowship’s ministry in Alabama continues all year:
- Prison Fellowship runs the ongoing faith-based unit at Bibb County Correctional Facility (featured in “I Can See Over the Fence!”)
- Prison Fellowship volunteers serve inside correctional facilities throughout the state, teaching classes, facilitating Bible studies, and mentoring inmates.
- Prison Fellowship volunteers serve out in the community, helping ex-prisoners get on their feet.
- Prison Fellowship Angel Tree volunteers deliver hope and love to approximately 7,000 children of incarcerated parents in Alabama each Christmas.
Would you like to be a part of this ongoing story?
