Two young beautiful Lord's ladies had an opportunity to send 258 bibles to Christian inmates in Sandakan Prison, they both packed the bibles in respective categories and carried the bibles three time up and down from the Prison Fellowship Office to their car and thereafter sent to the Sandakan Prison in the afternoon.
When we arrived in the female inmates department, a baby was crying when he saw me. The baby was afraid of me. Because i was wearing my shoes, whereas others were not wearing their shoes. Immediately, i took off my shoes, then baby ceased from crying. There were 3 other little kids in the cell. We greet the wardens,inmates and the kids with the love of Christ, both inside and outside of the cells.
One Chinese girl was locking in the cell. She told us that she wanted to join us but she was disallowed to do so 'coz she has yet to be sentenced. It reminded me that we need to prepare a Chinese Bible, Chinese Praise and Worship songs and Chinese biblical verses for her in our next visitation.
We learned to sing a new song "Hati hamba" ( heart of a servant). An elderly inmate said she likes the song. Young ladies also like the song. The warden was touched by us, and sent in the bibles that we brought in 20 minutes ago. Praise God! The bibles arrived in female inmates cell, just put beside us, the warden allowed us to take the bibles and read it. Our souls rejoice in the Lord! They all indeed very thirst for the word of God! Thank You God gave us the opportunity to minister about 14 female inmates from Philippines and Indonesia in English and Bahasa.
We shared on the topic of "PEACE".Peace with God, Peace with ourselves, peace with those surrounds us, including other inmates and the wardens. We also called by God to pray for our family and our loved ones, and to represent God to give His hug for each and everyone of them.
Before we have to leave, they said: "Thank you sisters!Thank you madam! When you both will come again?" Our hearts felt very touched, satisfied and rejoiced. All glory to God! Thank You God gave us the opportunity to serve Him. Thank You God ministered our hearts and souls individually! We love you God! Amen and Amen.
