Introduction and Recent News

Chartered in 1982, Prison Fellowship Columbia began as an organisation dedicated to providing spiritual help to the incarcerated. With the help of over 800 volunteers, vocational training, evangelization, Angel Tree, and children and youth programmes are available to inmates and their families throughout the country. Faith-based prison units and reconciliation programes involving offenders and victims are also a key part of PF Colombia's success in helping offenders find Christ and lead more productive, meaningful lives.
