5 Believe at Yilan Prison

A. Nikorn and A. Chachuwan Pray for New Believers

It took 2 ½  hours to reach Yilan from Neili.  At this center the government only allows the Christian Coalition to enter once a month.  It was Richard’s and my first time at the prison.  The meeting was held on the prison’s enclosed roof, which had a view of colorful rice fields, a Chinese cemetery and mountains.  A program of singing in 5 languages and  several movie clips showing God’s love was presented before the prisoners  were separated into  language groups.  Linda used pictures telling the creation to Christ story to the Thai inmates.  Then Richard talked about how Jesus who would lead their lives in a positive direction if they would believe and listen to His voice.  When finished, the 2 Thai pastors asked who wanted to accept God’s love for them.  All 5 Thais raised their hands and were led in a prayer of salvation.  As the inmates were leaving, the Christians gave them 2 kinds of fruit, a bag full of food, and some orange juice.
