Prison Ministry

Baviaanspoort Prison Ministry

A few weekends ago a group of Christians held a time of ministry at the Baviaanspoort Prison. The ministry to the inmates at this male prison has been in place for a few years resulting in a church being planted within the prison with active cells, worship and evangelic outreaches within these confines. This church is run entirely by the inmates, but this weekend was a time of ministry to these fellow Christians by a group headed up by Pastor Tertius de Kock.
After much organisation, real opposition but also much effective prayer, the group headed off for the weekend only to discover that there was a problem with their usual camping area. However they were able to give praise to the Lord as they were able to find a more suitable camping area, which was a real blessing.
However the greatest testimony was the way the inmates reacted to the word of God and how their lives were changed. Many grew in their relationship with the Lord and received ministry to the powerful teaching of the Father’s heart.
This prison ministry does not stay within the confines of the bars, but is extending to help those who are released to make an entrance back into their families and communities.
Please continue to pray for this ministry and for the inmates of this prison.

This was written after hearing testimonies from Pastor Tertius de Kock and someone who was an intercessor on the weekend
