Prison ministry isn’t easy. So, is it worth it? Are there any encouraging outcomes from sharing the gospel in a prison? Can people convicted of crimes find freedom in Christ?
Richard Stephens, the UK Chairman of Kairos Prison Ministry International, is my guest on this episode. He tells us of how he’s seen God work in incredible and lifechanging ways within the prison system, through the volunteer work he does with Kairos.
We chat about how Richard has personally seen men have their lives turned around by the supernatural power of Jesus. As we talk, it becomes clear that it’s the love of Jesus that draws the broken towards spiritual freedom. Richard helps us understand the many ways we can show that love.
He tells us about the great need for the Gospel within prison walls and how it must partner with academic programs to lead people into whole-life healing, encouraging new ways of thinking and living.
We learn about surprising ways that we can help serve in the Kairos ministry that don’t require us to go to the prison at all.
The Bible is clear that Christians ought to reach out to those in prison with the truth of the absolute freedom found in Jesus. Richard’s passion on this subject will motivate you to respond.
