Mandate
We have a mandate from God to fulfill Jesus instructions in Matthew 25, when He said. " 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
About Us
We are a Federally Incorporated Canadian Registered Charitable Organization. Our Charity Number is 803492925RR0001.
We are governed by an active Board of Directors all of whom are Christian volunteers, who receive no compensation. Starting with Rev Brent Bishop, Stephen Giovannetti, Dr. Stephen Hart, Pastor Albert Hood (missing from photo), Malcolm Thomas, Paul Dixon, Pamela Hoben and Larry Bailey. Life time Honorable retired members are James Lewis, Sherry McMillan and Pastor Hal Babcock.
PCM exists to bring the love, hope, and healing of Christ to those in need, focusing on incarcerated individuals, their families, and vulnerable communities both locally and globally. Governed by an all-volunteer Board of Directors, PCM ensures that every dollar donated—beyond minimal administration costs—goes directly to help those we serve. Our ministry is carried out through three key initiatives:
- Tabitha House Missions in Kenya – Our global mission to rescue and care for children of incarcerated parents.
- Seed The Need Thrift Store in Fredericton, NB – A local mission generating funds for Tabitha House while ministering to the less fortunate in our community.
- PCM Home Missions in Atlantic Canada – Providing support and ministry services to faith-based rehabilitation centers, homeless shelters, and transitional housing programs.
Tabitha House Missions – A God-Inspired Vision
The Tabitha Children’s Rescue Centers currently care daily for over 100+ children across four Tabitha Houses in Kenya. These homes provide safe shelter, food, clothing, medical care, and a Christ-centered education to children who would otherwise face abandonment, poverty, or exploitation.
God gave PCM’s Founder and President, Rev. Brent Bishop, a bold vision to build 10 Tabitha Houses in Kenya. This God-focused mission has been made possible through the faith, prayers, and generosity of partners, supporters, and people like you. By the grace of God, we are excited to share that our goal for 2025 is to construct 1-2 additional Tabitha Houses, with the aim of operating 6 houses by year-end 2025 and are looking to secure $70,000 more in funding to complete Tabitha House #5. Each new Tabitha House costs $100,000 to complete and thus far we have raised $30,000.
Seed The Need Thrift Store – Local Impact, Global Reach
In Fredericton, NB, PCM operates Seed the Need Thrift Store, a ministry within a ministry. This store not only generates essential funds for Tabitha House Missions but also serves as a local mission, offering affordable clothing and essentials to the less fortunate. It provides support services to individuals with disabilities, young offenders, co-op students, and others, while ministering to the homeless, hurting, and hungry in our community.
PCM Home Missions – Atlantic Canada
In addition to our global efforts, PCM’s Home Missions work within Atlantic Canada to support faith-based rehabilitation centers, homeless shelters, and transitional housing programs. Through ministry services, practical assistance, and donations, we help individuals struggling with life-controlling problems such as addiction and mental health challenges. At PCM, we believe that helping others helps others, and we are committed to being the hands and feet of Christ in our communities.
Our Vision for 2025 and Beyond
With God’s guidance and provision, PCM is stepping into an exciting season of growth. Our goals for 2025 include:
- Expanding Tabitha House Missions: Build 2 additional Tabitha Houses in Kenya, increasing our capacity to care for more children. By the end of 2025, our goal is to have 6 operational Tabitha houses, working toward the long-term vision of 10 Tabitha Houses.
- Growing Seed the Need: Expand our thrift store’s operations to reach more individuals locally and provide additional support for Tabitha House Missions.
- Strengthening Home Missions: Enhance our partnerships with rehabilitation centers, homeless shelters, and transitional housing programs in Atlantic Canada to extend our outreach to more individuals.
- Deepening Our Impact: Expand prison ministry and reentry support programs across North America, offering hope and practical resources to those transitioning from incarceration.
- Engaging Partners and Supporters: Increase community engagement through volunteer opportunities, donor partnerships, and prayer networks to support the continued growth of PCM’s initiatives.
