Joy cannot be imprisoned
Colombia | OM International
Inside the San Diego Women’s Jail in Cartagena, Colombia, inmates celebrated a joy-filled Christmas last month. OM Colombia leader Martha Ardila and the members of the Bolivar Prison Fellowship organised the event.
The air was heavy with anticipation as the women opened packages filled with necessities and treats: toothpaste, bath soap, detergent, juice, chocolates, lollypops and cookies. The gifts had been bought with the contributions of generous people. Eighty inmates also received a copy of The Calvary Road by Roy Hession, a gift from OM Founder George Verwer. The book was also given to the 20 staff members and 10 members of the Bolivar Prison Fellowship. Later, everyone enjoyed ice cream and cakes, along with a drama of the Lord’s Prayer.
Praise God that OM Colombia could partner with the Bolivar Prison Fellowship and the San Diego Women’s Jail to bring God’s joy to the inmates this past Christmas. Please pray that the message and books will have an eternal impact on the women.
