CHRISTMAS CARDS FOR PRISONERS
Dear Friends,
As we enter this season of celebration of the Birth of Jesus Christ, God is once again inviting you to participate in what He is doing in prisons through the Prayer For Prisoners International (PFPI)
CHRISTMAS CARD OUTREACH 2009
This time of year we prepare for the celebration of the birth of The King of kings. You can reach a life with the love of Jesus. This may be the only time that they hear about our Savior.
Send a Christian Christmas card to men and women that are in prison around the U.S. and in Uganda, Kenya, and India. The outreach is easy. Pray and see how many men and or women that you would like to send cards to and we sill supply you with calendar cards, prayer forms, the labels for the men and women and our return address labels.
You supply the card and the stamp. You may even send Christian tracts. We will give you all of the guidelines to keep the outreach safe for you as well as the Department of Corrections and the Ministry.
