Pete LaFond (1941-2021)

Pete and Betty LaFond joined Morningside in 1980. Pete was a native of New England who came to Christ through a home Bible study.

A few years later, an outreach visit to the Greenville County jail grew into Pete’s missions burden. Soon that burden became reality as Victory Prison Ministries.

Pete would visit men and women who were incarcerated at various SC prisons and distribute Bibles that had been donated for his use. In recent years, he started a program where inmates could take Bible courses.

Through Victory Prison Ministries, many men and women were saved and dedicated their lives to the Lord. Pete passed away on Sunday, Feb. 7. At Pete’s request, no funeral services are planned. We sorrow with Betty and rejoice that Pete is with the Lord.
