Greg Von Tobel, President and Founder

Greg Von Tobel was a stockbroker for eleven years, from 1978 through 1989, for various firms including E.F. Hutton & Co. and Shearson Lehman Brothers. In 1984, God called Greg to volunteer in prison ministry. Greg launched Prisoners For Christ Outreach Ministries (PFC) five years later on August 4, 1989. On May 14, 1990, God closed one chapter of Greg’s life and opened up a whole new chapter by giving up his career as a stockbroker and going into full-time prison ministry.

Since 1989, PFC has been dedicated to taking the Gospel of Jesus Christ into the jails, prisons, and juvenile institutions not only in Washington State but around the world. PFC has field offices in nineteen countries: Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, D.R. Congo, Ethiopia, India, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Nepal, Niger, Nigeria, the Philippines, Russia, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Togo, and Uganda.

PFC has over thirty-nine hundred volunteers who conduct more than a thousand church services and Bible studies per month, averaging more than thirty-six services per day. PFC’s national Bible Study Correspondence School has over nineteen hundred inmates on its student body roster. Also, PFC’s national inmate newspaper, Yard Out, is sent to over thirteen hundred detention facilities nationally. Greg has been married to Rhonda since 1978. They have three children and five grandchildren.
