Programs

Angel Tree^®

Angel Tree^® Christmas is a Prison Fellowship program that connects parents in prison with their children through the delivery of Christmas gifts. In most cases, local church volunteers purchase and deliver gifts and the Gospel to children in the name of their prisoner-parent. Many churches make an annual commitment to this highly rewarding program and recognize it as a way to care for some of the most overlooked members of our communities.

Drug Rehabilitation Referral Advice

Prevention of overdoses after arrest. Mentors are visiting jails and tell about rehabilitation possibilities in country. They explain about dangers of overdoses and offer practical support after release.

Pastoral Program

Program for life sentence prisoners. Support and encouragement to bring hope into despair. The program began in 2007 at Ämari Prison but was moved to Tallinn Prison because the Ämari Prison was closed before Christmas 2007.

Week of Prayer

The Annual Week of Prayer can be observed at any time during the year. The week is designed as a special occasion for Prison Fellowship to communicate and connect with churches and the community in order to focus on ministry among prisoners, ex-prisoners, the families of prisoners, and victims of crime.
