Church in the Avenue and Grace Canton have congregants who are helping run Sunday services at Cardiff Prison. Here is the team after a Sunday service.
Volunteers are helping with worship music, encouragement and above all powerful testimony on how Jesus has changed and transformed people’s lives. We heard from Marco who delivered his testimony to around thirty in-mates on how Jesus changed his life from a very turbulent past.
Testimony can be a powerful thing. Check this scripture out, specifically in the book of Revelation.
“And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.”
Jesus took the punishment for all our sin’s past, present and future, his blood covers us in a robe of righteousness and makes us as white as snow before God. We just need to accept the grace that has been made available to us that will restore our relationship with God. This is what we are doing at Cardiff prison, proclaiming the good news of Jesus, letting inmates know that they can be forgiven for whatever sins they have committed, showing them there is a pathway to salvation and heaven.
Salvation is not just available to those who are in prison. The Bible teaches us that we are all sinners, and we have all fallen short of the standard of God. It might not be that you have been in trouble with the Law, it might be that you got away with a crime, or have told a little white lie here and there, either way you have sinned, and if you wonder if there is ever a way out then the good news stands for you too, you too can be forgiven for any sins you have committed in your life. Come to Jesus and give your life to him.
If you are already a Christian pray for our visits to Cardiff Prison. Pray that the Lord will water the seeds and that the truth will set in-mates free.
If you are curious about the Christian faith, come along to our family service every Sunday. Doors open at 10.45am for free refreshments and drinks. Our service then starts at 11.15am.
