Easter Celebration in prison.
An Easter miracle:
To Davids’ surprise, he was unexpectedly invited to share a word with his fellow inmates in our Easter celebration. He immediately realised how special that was. He happily shared what he had been reading in his Bible this morning on Good Friday; Words of Hope and how God once delivered His people from Egypt and that Jesus offers personal Freedom now, no matter if one lives inside or outside prison. What a powerful message!
The night before, the light in his cell broke. So he couldn’t read his Bible as he was used to. To his big surprise an electrician entered his cell in the middle of the night (!!) and fixed his lamp. The next morning David was invited to share a message -thàt was why the electrician had to come to his cell in the middle of the night!

Good cooperation with prison authorities
Over the years we have tried to respect and honour the staff of the prison administration, and we’re more than happy for the good cooperation we have with most of them. So we celebrated Easter in many prisons, and shared the gospel of Hope and Deliverance with many inmates.
The Prisoners Journey
I’d almost say you HAVE to become part of this. What an impact we have through this instrument. The Prisoners Journey is an 8 week course, where we discuss the importance of life by studying the gospel of Mark by the following 3 main questions: Who was Jesus, Why did he come, and What should it matter to me?

Here are some testimonies of people that went though it:
Indrit: Before the course i was unstable emotionally and psychologically alltogether. I used to see my life with pessimism and i thought that i could never escape my sins. First i came just to change the daily routine, but with the passing of the days, I am clearing my thoughts and i am getting more convinced that God is real.
Kujtim: I used to be locked up in myself and never wanted to participate in events and activities. I thank a lot to the course because to me personally a new window in my heart is opened and from this window is coming inside a holy light that is showing me the right way. The way that God is showing me. I believe that Jesus Christ will change all my life.
