Every week, our prisons team across the country journey with men and women as they find out more about faith, and they’re seeing God move in amazing ways.
Jo, recently went to see Hywel* who’d asked to speak with her because he wanted to turn his life around. When Jo got to the wing, the officers said that Hywel had been self-isolating for months and didn’t like speaking to people, and so they thought that Jo wouldn’t be able to have much of a chat with him.
Not only was Hywel excited to see Jo, he came out and sat with her for 20 minutes to chat. He said, ‘I’ve been working though some Christian content in my cell and became a Christian by watching episodes of “The Chosen”. Now I’m using the “Bible in One Year” resource that Nicky and Pippa Gumbel made to learn more. I already feel like Jesus is changing me, and my faith is the only thing that’s making me want to leave my cell.’
Hywel then asked to come along to the Bible study Jo runs on Wednesdays so please do be praying for him as he continues to learn more about Jesus, grow in his faith and discover the peace a relationship with God can bring.
