Angel Tree
It Starts with a Gift… It Leads to Lives
Transformed by Christ
By Bonnie
Williams
Right now, an estimated 1.5 million children have a mom or dad in prison.
The number is huge – but so is the opportunity. Angel Tree is a ministry of
Prison Fellowship that reaches out to the children of inmates and their
families with the love of Christ. It seeks to transform the lives of these
families and to reconcile them to their Heavenly Father as well as to each
other. In Matthew 18:5 Jesus said, “Whoever welcomes a little child like
this in my name welcomes me.” Angel Tree provides an opportunity to connect
the inmate with their family during the Christmas season. Through Angel
Tree, these children are able to feel a parent’s love, despite their
absence. Throughout the month of November Center Barnstead Christian Church
and its members will purchase gifts to deliver to the children of inmates in
their parent’s name. If you would be interested in helping provide gifts for
these children or have any questions please call the church at 269-8831.
