Since 2004 team members of VfA regularly visit inmates in the biggest prison in Uganda - the Upper Prison in Kampala where about 2000 men and women are detained. Since capital punishment has not yet been abolished in Uganda, the prison has also a death row.
In miraculous ways God has opened doors both to the men's and the women's prison, so that we are able take in soap, blankets, sugar, tea, clothes, sandals, and Bibles for the prisoners.
Our main concern is not only the material things we take into the prison, but above all that the prisoners are touched by God's love.
We pay weekly visits to the men and women in the prison. We are currently offering an "Alpha Course" which is attended by 120 participants; also a ‘Peace Making Course’ and different ‘Bible Study’ classes.
Many of the prisoners embrace the message of Jesus and His forgiveness wholeheartedly. In addition to this we have had the joy of leading many inmates individually to Jesus. At the same time, because of this particular challenge, we have not only been able to observe how Jesus changes the lives of the prisoners - but also our own lives as well.
The testimonies of the prisoners who have decided to trust God's Word and live according to the Word are very moving. Many of them say that they have been especially touched by the "Peace Making Course" and that now they understand that they must forgive in order to experience peace in their hearts. To take revenge, some had even wanted to kill their wives and their children. However, thanks to this course and the message of Jesus, their lives have been radically changed.
We are very grateful that we can carry out this ministry and are grateful for every single donation.
We were even allowed to record the testimonies of some prisoners and put them on a DVD for you!
