Today, we went to Iwahig Prison Penal Colony. We went to a different sub division of the prison from two years ago that we were not able to treat two years ago. This sub colony had two types of prisoners. One is Medium security which prisoners were just transferred from Metro Manila jails and the second is Minimum Security prisoners that are about to be released from prison.
It was challenging for the Medium Security since they will only let out 20 at a time from the cells to medical section and 20 for dental section. However we were able to treat over 400 prisoners and also the families living inside the Penal Colony.
An awesome testimony is that a prisoner from the last visit became a pastor while we were there two years ago and he was released last year. Now the surrounding Christian churches assisted him in building a chapel inside the prison that he now pastors.
Many prisoners gave their lives to the Lord Jesus and now he will follow up from inside the colony. Please continue to pray for this Pastor and continue to build the kingdom of God within the prison to set the captives free even inside the prison walls.
