Angel Tree Brings Christmas, and Christ, to Children Whose Parents Are in Prison

View descriptionShare
 

Brian From talks with John Brennan, national recruiting coordinator for Angel Tree, a Prison Fellowship ministry that works through local churches to deliver Christmas gifts to children of incarcerated parents on their parents' behalf. John shares how his family got involved in 2001, when a church delivered Angel Tree gifts to the four grandchildren he and his wife were raising while their father was in prison. He describes the shame, guilt, and feelings of worthlessness these children often carry, and how churches can help break the cycle that leads many to follow a parent into prison. John tells the story of a 13-year-old boy whose gift tag from his father opened the door to reconnecting. He also explains how churches can stay involved year-round through Bible cards, prayer, and personal delivery, and he invites listeners and churches to sign up at prisonfellowship.org.
