Fast forward a couple of months, here I was again with Agent B.B, and M.M. There were maybe over a hundred men present during the meeting. I looked at them, and I just felt so much pity. Some of them had sores on their skin. You could look into their eyes and see emptiness-I mean a kind of weariness, and likely, they were bored to death with the same routine every day. Many hadn’t seen their loved ones. Some didn’t even know how long they were going to be there. Some were on death row. Many had diseases. They were just going through a lot. And of course, desperation draws people to God. So they all came to church with some kind of hope, that maybe God could touch and heal some wounds deep inside.
I realised that in environments like this, people are either very vulnerable or very hardened. And many of these men seemed vulnerable. That made me think: if we can be consistent in bringing the Word to them, in helping them find relief, at least on the inside, we’d be doing the world a lot of good. Different outcomes were possible for the prisoners; some of them could be freed and sent back into society. And if prison is supposed to be a time of rehabilitation, of washing and cleansing, and they come out not cleansed, still broken and bitter, it’s going to be a problem for everyone else outside.
Agent M.M.’s Account
We came to continue our BBS series (BBS stands for Believer’s Bible School, a series of foundational teachings from Hebrews 6:1-3). I taught Water Baptism, emphasising the significance of baptism to our Christian experience. The message concluded with a Q&A session in which the inmates enthusiastically participated, asking numerous questions. Although we were able to answer many of their questions, we could not address all of them, as we were pressed for time. One of the inmates expressed heartfelt gratitude to our team for consistently coming to share the truth of the gospel with them. In his speech, he noted how the message preached during one of our previous visits, which focused on repentance from dead works, had brought much light and positive change to his mind.
He mentioned that he had since cultivated a new mindset towards life in general, which had led to improvements in his relationship with God. Following this, our team prayed and laid hands on some of the inmates who had come forward in response to a call for those who had broken promises to God and others. Approximately 30 people (by estimation) came forward to repent, renounce their failures, and seek relief from their broken promises. After the service, we met with the chaplain in his office. He requested that we pray with him, which we did. We also shared some prophetic words with him before we dismissed.
