PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Greg Von Tobel President & Founder
Dear Beloved Partners, G reetings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. William Carey, first missionary to India, once said, “If you provide the rope, I will go down into the pit.” In this example of partnership, William Carey let it be plainly known that he had the skill and willingness to do the dangerous work, but lacked the tools to accomplish it. Carey worked the front lines of ministry but relied on the supply lines that afforded him the proper tools. If you are a donor partner of PFC, YOU are our supply line and we are deeply grateful for your unwavering support and generosity throughout the past year. Your contributions have been instrumental in furthering our mission and touching millions of lives. I am excited to share with you the full impact of your giving in the enclosed annual report. As we reflect on PFC’s 2024 journey together, I am happy to report that the Lord allowed us to have significant increase in many areas of the ministry: • Our attendance went from 1.2 million in 2023 to over 2.1 million in 2024, an increase of 69%. Our missionary partners around the world are working hard in the prisons within their own countries’ prison systems. • With this increase we went from 49,000 decisions for Christ in 2023, to over 73,000 in 2024. • The other notable increase came in the number of services that were conducted under the PFC banner from 9,000 services in 2023 to over 13,000. That is an average of 36 services per day. • Our literature department is just exploding with over 18,000 Bibles distributed to the inmate churches around the world. (You can check out more of the metrics that we track on pages 18- 19 of this report.) That was just 2024. What do we have to look forward to in the ensuing years? Opening Bible Colleges inside prisons around the world; planting churches inside prisons (a newer vision); mass digital distribution of our resources; and more projects that are detailed in this report. Please be in prayer for us as we continue to go down into the pit to shine the light of Christ inside prisons worldwide. William Carey could have said it this way, “We need more rope!” Thank you once again for your generous heart and faithful support. God bless you, one and all who serve and who give. Rejoice with PFC as the Lord has seen fit to bless for another year.
In Christ alone, Greg Von Tobel PFC President & Founder
