Prison showed Chaplain Mal Walker how deep is God's love
Inmates at Greenough Prison are turning to the chaplain for prayer and encouragement.
Geraldton Assistant Minister Mal Walker has begun filling in as prison chaplain two days a week and says the experience has shown him God's immense love for people.
“A prisoner asked to share about faith and pray. He was finding it very challenging to be a Christian in gaol and live in a manner that was godly. He was greatly concerned about his sins and the things he had done.
“It was good to be able to remind him that our salvation doesn’t depend on what we do but on what Jesus has done for us. What matters is who we put our faith in!”
The prisoner was too embarrassed to be seen praying in front of others so Mal prayed alone later.
“It’s easy for us to believe that God forgives our little sins. But prison is a reminder of how powerful and big Jesus’ grace is. God’s forgiveness extends even to people who have done really bad stuff.”
Please pray for the gospel to free prisoners in Greenough.
