A congregant of Canton Community Church volunteers with a ministry in Scotland, called Kildean Ministry. We were blessed to be involved in sending one person from Cardiff up to Scotland to attend a free discipleship course.
Kildean Ministry has been established for 15 years. It was setup by former Cardiff Prison Chaplain Joyce Dean. She felt a calling to help people who had found faith in prison. Therefore, with much prayer and the Lord opening doors she went ahead and ran two discipleship courses a year for men either new to the Christian faith, or who had come to faith in prison. Joyce has been running them ever since.
The discipleship courses last for two weeks and are free to all men who attend. How were they free might you ask? Joyce has always depended solely on the Lord’s provision and for 15 years has never been short of a provision financially or in want for anything like food and volunteers. Praise God.
The Bible teaches us that God is faithful in the promises he gives. Kildean Ministry is an example of Gods faithfulness to provide, and in doing so has restored so many broken lives from all kinds of addictions and troubled pasts.
Here are photos of the most recent discipleship course that took place in Glasgow, Scotland at the Bible Centre.
What is true about Kildean Ministry is, Jesus is still doing what he pronounced in the synagogue over two thousand years ago today, specifically written in Luke 4 v 18-19 displayed below.
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free,
19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour.”[a]
We have seen through the discipleship courses Jesus healing people of addiction and setting the captives free. Nothing is truer than this happening at Kildean Ministry, to which Jesus our Lord and Saviour deserves all the glory.
