Angel Tree
Angel Tree is a program of Prison Fellowship that reaches out to the children of inmates and their families with the love of Christ. It seeks to transform the lives of these families and to reconcile them to their Heavenly Father and each other. In Matthew 18:5 Jesus says, “Whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me." An estimated 1.7 million children have at least one parent in prison. Angel Tree provides an opportunity to connect with those families through a variety of year-round ministry opportunities, including mentoring and summer camps, with an emphasis on Christmastime gift giving.
