Perhaps the deepest part of prison ministry lives in the client’s homecoming stories. When a person is released, they find that they encounter many complexities, both emotionally and practically. They are faced with their past, a criminal record, a lack of confidence and for some, past connections with their life of crime.
The free society they are released into looks very different than the life they got accustomed to. PFC’s Bridgecare program steps in to interrupt a negative cycle, and to help support those on this journey through partnerships with the church, PFC volunteers walk alongside them and help them find their way to a warm church community where they can learn, grow and thrive in the community.

EQUIPPING THE CHURCH
The PFC Bridgecare strategy is to equip and mobilize the Canadian Christian community to walk alongside an individual for a period of 3-18 months. Teams of two Bridgecare volunteer program leaders provide mentorship, encouragement, accountability, and practical assistance, supporting his or her healthy transition from incarceration to a responsible community member.
“But a Samaritan, as he travelled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him.”
Luke 10: 33-34 (NIV)
