God continues to open new doors in reaching the
people of Romania with the Gospel. One of the ministries that
is continuing to grow is outreach among prison inmates. Here
is one woman's story about how she gave her heart to Jesus
Christ after completing a Bible study:
“I am 27 years old. I received a life sentence
for a double murder, along with my boyfriend, when I was 19
years old. I have been held in prison with such a penalty for
seven years—I was close to losing my mind. My
guilt, hopelessness, desperation, the rejection of my family,
all together pushed me to seek suicide.
In the middle of my distress, someone shared
the Gospel with me. She led me through a Bible
study, and then she gave me a Bible.
Slowly, my darkness was
enlightened by God's love. I found real peace and freedom in
Christ, knowing He had forgiven me of my crimes, even though
my body was still behind bars. I began to pray for
my family, my friends, and even my guards.”
