Today was my last eday, and from the program brief we were given, it was prison ministry so we all thought we would be going to a prison to do ministry or to help them in their practical work which the prisoners do.
So I did not know what to expect when I was doing my quiet time in the morning, and I was reading Ps 14, where David himself recgnoise that he himself was sinful and no better than a murder because sin is sin, so I felt God depositing in me to go with that attitude.
So we met at in the main lobby and left with a very blur picture. But it was all cleared up when we met the the gentleman who was bringing us there, he explained on the drive there that we were not going to a prison, but rather their office, which also functions as a halfway house for ex-offenders. So they have all served their term and are living and working at that house.
What they did for work was to pack chilli and tomato sauce along with napkins into small plastic bags for KFC, which will be given out when people order a take away from KFC. So we were shown to a small room where everyone was working to pack sort and seal the bags.
So we spent the whole day just helping them with their work, and just chatting with them. They were all also christian too so it was great. We had a great time of fellowship over lunch too. In fact the lunch they provided for us was so much more expensive than what we had earned for them, so I really felt that they were doing it to bless us more than we were able to bless them. All in all it was a very nice last e-day for me, probably not the best and most exciting one but definitely one to remember.
After we came back, I took a bath and hung around the bookshop, before going for prayer night, then going back to bookshop again. It is my last days here already so I am stealing every second to spend time with people.
3 more days……………
