Poppa* was incarcerated from October 19, 2004 until June 12, 2012. In 2005, Poppa* was given the inspiration to begin a Prison Ministry upon his release from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. From 2005 to 2012, Poppa* made notes, plans, outlines, etc. and spent countless hours talking about and developing TFF.
Due to the fact that Poppa* endured the harsh reality of Prison life, he is well equipped to Minister to those behind prison walls.
TFF is based upon Partnership. Anyone can be a Partner of TFF if they have the common desire to do good and make a covenant to help make the World a better place. We solicit those who have a passion for life and a desire to do good.
HUHU (Help Us Help Us)
TFF initially limited Partnership to those who were incarcerated. About a year after the formation of TFF, Partnership was expanded to Free World individuals.
TFF has a presence in the States of Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin.
TFF has a presence in Canada, England, Hong Kong, Netherlands and Thailand.
The life of an incarcerated individual is a miserable, lonely, frustrating existence. No one can fully understand the emotional toil on an inmate's body unless they have been forced to endure that cruel lifestyle.
Because Poppa* was forced to live the life of an inmate for 7 1/2 years, he knows firsthand what goes through the mind of an inmate. And, he is well equipped to minister to their needs.
TFF is based upon communication. Many of those who are incarcerated have no one to talk to. No one to vent to. No one to express their feelings to. TFF has stepped up to the plate and offered a shoulder to lean on.
In TFF's first 3 years of existence, we have received hundreds of letters from our Partners.. Poppa* reads each and every letter that comes in. Every letter represents a human being that is reaching out to another. Some are funny. Some are sad. Some are happy. Some are mad. But, each and every letter and communication represents those that have made a pact with TFF to do good and to make a difference in Society.
Many of our Partners will never be released from prison. However, we make it clear to those individuals that they matter. We let them know that they are Loved. We let them know that they are not forgotten. God is GOOD!~~~~
