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.

Prisoner Art

This is an international competition which PF Belarus promotes in the prisons. The aims of this program are to:

• Encourage prisoners to reflect on their life through art and use the freedom of creativity whilst living in conditions of captivity
• Inform the public about the realities of life behind bars
• To overcome the alienation of prisoners through creativity by bringing people “inside” and “outside” in contact with each other
• Transmit positive impulses for personal development
