Project Angel Tree is part of Prison Ministry Fellowship. The purpose of Angel Tree is to connect local congregations and proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to prisoners, former prisoners, their families and those who have been victimized.

The project was well-received and the people involved in the project were touched by the families.
