A prison is a facility in
which individuals are forcibly confined and denied a variety of freedoms under
the authority of the government. It is part of an organized governmental justice
system, in which individuals officially charged with or convicted of crimes are
confined to a jail or prison until they are either brought to trial to
determine their guilt or complete the period of incarceration they were sentenced to
after being found guilty at their trial. This is not to say that all
the people held or convicted are truly guilty but one way or the other they are
confined.
It is to this end that we the
people of The Redeemed Christian Church of God - The New Courtyard, have come
together with our God given gifts, talents and resources to share our faith,
proclaim the Gospels and bring deliverance to the captives. This is in accordance
to one of the sayings of Jesus Christ that “…He
was in prison and we came to visit Him” Matthew 25:36. Imagine thousands of
prisoners discovering their purpose even in their restricted state.
We have in our own little way
reached out unto the captives at the Kirikiri Prison and we are using this
opportunity to create awareness for volunteers to join us in our next visit.
