Prisons Work
‘Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison,
and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering’
(Hebrews 13:3)
A friend of mine decided to seek the welfare of the most vulnerable people in the community.
He came to the conclusion that it was those in prison. Imagine what it is like.
Your freedom is removed. The days drag out. You are vulnerable to injustice and worse.
You are condemned by others, and the fact that you have been in prison will always be on your record.
In some countries the treatment of prisoners is horrendous.
Mothers Union has a record of seeking the welfare especially of children brought before the courts.
As ever, we could do more to support the work of chaplains and others who seek to help the helpless,
even those who may have committed dreadful crimes.
God loves all people and forgives those who turn to him. That is a message which changes lives.
Question for thought: What would I hope if one of my own family was in jail?
Lord, we long to see an end to persecution in Jos and Akoko in Nigeria.
Thank you for the courage of members and pray that they will continue to stand firm.
Pray the members will encourage women and girls to develop skills in reading the Scriptures
but also so that they for reach their full potential in all they do. AMEN.
