PRISON MINISTRY.

The prison conditions here are bad. The hostels are often congested or overcrowded. For instance, a hostel meant for 150 inmates may have over 300 inmates. This overcrowding leads to poor sanitary conditions, infections, sickness or diseases. The prisoners are not given adequate medical treatment and people die anyhow in prisons.

Many prisoners don’t have clothes and cannot attend church services in the prisons. Prison evangelists are forced to go to their hostels to preach to them.
The spiritual and physical needs of the prisoners have to be met in order to give them hope. Apart from leading them to Christ, they need clothing, food, drugs and adequate medical treatment.

Many prison ministries; churches and evangelists are making concerted efforts to alleviate the problems of most prisoners. But these efforts are grossly inadequate as most of them lack the finances to make great impact in this area.

Prison inmates need our help and assistance. A soul saved or won for Christ in the prison may bring great joy in heaven. In lieu of this, we are very much concerned with the welfare of women in prison and ex- prisoners. There is no
After care unit in this place. After serving their sentences for months or years as the case maybe in prison, when they come out they need to be rehabilitated. Some of them when they come out don’t have anything to do and are rejected or ostracized by their families.

We are hoping to establish an After care unit that can help to assist and rehabilitate some of the affected women in the society.
