Setting The Prisoners Free-April 2007


The prisons in Mexico are full of people who need to be set free. The chains of bondage come in many different forms. We have witnessed prisoners with chains around their ankles and wrists. The greatest bondage of all are those that do not know or place their hope in Jesus Christ as their Savior. It has been a privlege to join other missionaries in the La Mesa (Tijuana) and Ensenada prisons. A mime group from San Luis, Mexico joined us in reaching out to the prisoners. Terri, her husband and the rest of the group travel to prisons and rehab centers sharing a message of hope. They begin with games that bring great laughter, followed by worship music and a testimony of how God released Terri from a life of drugs and how she found freedom from a life of pain. Each event gives the prisoners opportunities to be prayed for and end with a hot dog lunch. Many of the women wept as they felt God's fogiveness for their sins. Many have been set free from guilt and shame.
