Members of the Kaiapoi Adventist Church have used their musical talents to minister to inmates at Rolleston Prison, New Zealand.
Over three consecutive Sundays in August, the church choir dedicated their time and talents to fill the prison with uplifting music and messages of hope. Instead of the facility’s usual church services, the choir led out, ministering to more than 100 inmates within the nine units of the prison.
Several inmates were moved to tears by the church’s ministry and requested Bibles and prayer. They also engaged in spiritual conversations with choir members after the services.
Choir members were also impacted by this experience, expressing a desire to continue their involvement in the prison ministry on a regular basis. They hope to join Richard Joseph, who currently leads Bible studies every Wednesday and conducts church services in two units each Sunday.
The Kaiapoi church plans to hold a special carol service at the prison in December and requests continued prayers and support as they spread the good news in this mission field.
