Prisoners For Christ Strategic Plan 2024-2030
Letter from the President
February 1, 2024 Dear Friends and Stakeholders,
Greetings in the precious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I absolutely marvel at how the Lord is working through ordinary men and women of this ministry. In many ways 2023 was a follow-up test year as we continued to strengthen ourselves while the world slowly came out of the two- year global pandemic. I liken the years 2020 and 2021 of the pandemic to the years that a patient might have spent in the hospital recovering from major surgery. 2022 was like a year of physical therapy to obtain better range of motion and 2023 was like a year of strengthening while at home convalescing. This forthcoming year, 2024, will be like a year of post-surgery growth and stabilization, getting back to where we were before the pandemic started. In 2004, the Board of the Directors of PFC worked to develop our first strategic plan for the ministry. We didn’t know much about strategic planning or how to begin. We did know that setting goals was a good thing for any organization. Our first strategic plan was approved in 2005. As a Board we told ourselves that we could not complete the plan only to place it on a shelf, allowing it to collect dust. Guess what we did? We put it on the shelf and allowed it to collect dust, reviewing it every three to four years and cringing at how out of date it became so quickly. The last time we reviewed the strategic plan was in 2019, months before the pandemic hit the world turning everything upside down. One of the reasons that I believe our past strategic plan collected dust is because it was an internal document. We didn’t make it public. We aim to change that. Thus, the reason for making this strategic plan public to our constituency. We believe the strategic plan is much like a lighthouse. The purpose of the lighthouse is to shine a light into the dark of evening, showing the way, and warning of danger. We have committed this plan to the Lord. We have had many hours of staff meetings setting realistic strategic priorities and goals. That being said, I am honored to present to you, our friends, stakeholders, and constituency, PFC’s revised, post-pandemic Seven-Year Strategic Plan . Once you dig into the ensuing pages, you will realize that there is a lot of complexity to achieving these goals. You will notice that many goals are dependent upon other goals being met first. In Chapter 5 we have developed a SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and
