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.
Food, Hygiene Materials, Material Support
Prison Fellowship Benin implements literacy sections in prisons to help prisoners access academic material. They also provide material support to prisoners and prisoners’ families.
Medical Support
Prison Fellowship Benin supports prisoners with medical aid by providing the medicines prescribed by physicians.
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.
