Prisoners For Christ Strategic Plan 2024-2030
Our Constituency The constituency of this ministry is four-fold: Inmates, Volunteers, Chaplains, Donors. Inmates : We minister to men, women, and juvenile offenders in jails, prisons, and juvenile detention centers through chapel and church services and Christian concerts. Volunteers : We train, equip, and support local and worldwide volunteers. We facilitate the efficient and effective new and seasoned ministries of those called to prison ministry. Chaplains : The ministry partners with local chaplains to carry out the work of the gospel. PFC is an extension of the ministry of the local chaplain. Donors : Donor partners are the lifeblood of this ministry. PFC desires to minister to those who faithfully and sacrificially give to this ministry. Initially the scope of ministry was offenders in the State of Washington yet over the past few years we have extended our literature ministry nationwide (Yard Out newspaper, Bible Correspondence Course Bible School and our newly formed Literature Distribution Department). Further, we have an outreach in Arizona and Idaho modeled after the Washington State ministry format. The doors have now been opened for PFC to go to the four corners of the world in equipping the indigenous nationals in foreign countries in ministering to their local inmate community. We see this mission field as the last frontier in Christian ministry to the least of the least and the forgotten of this world. Truly the fields are white unto harvest! Present Financial Model The ministry’s revenue source in 2023 came from individuals, churches, grants, private and small companies. The present annual budget exceeds $1,000,000. These revenues are principally raised through the direct and regular fund-raising efforts of the ministry President. PFC financially supports thirty-four missionaries in twenty- one countries. (See the international map in the 2023 Impact Report) Domestic missionaries in the United States are responsible for raising their own support.
