35 Years of Helping Prisoners
Last modified 2008-04-11 06:00
More than fifteen Prison Fellowship organisations around the world are operating faith-based prison units that offer invaluable spiritual and moral training to inmates.
Although they have different names and reflect the cultures and
traditions of the respective country, they are all modelled after the
APAC (Association for the Protection and Assistance to the Convicted)
programme that was developed in Brazil and now celebrates its 35th year
of operation. The original programme has been through many challenges
throughout the years, but continues to be strong and effective in
helping prisoners turn their lives around through character-focused,
biblically-based teachings.
Congratulating PF Brazil on APAC’s 35-year anniversary, Tim Khoo, PFI Executive Vice President, said, “This is a significant milestone that celebrates the amazing journey that APAC has taken from a city in Brazil and now to the world.”
