Taiwan Prison Ministry: Escapees Converted

5/4/2016

0 Comments

 
​Our prison ministry reaches out to Vietnamese immigrants in the Taiwan detention centers. In the past 8 years, over a thousand people have been converted in the detention centers. 

​However, the successful ministry has had to be suspended, due to the authorities’ response to a recent incident.

​Forceful Escape
​
Six Vietnamese immigrants used force to take the guard down and escape from the Hsinchu detention center. They were captured and sentenced to an average of 2 months in jail.

​Pastor's Visit​

Our ministry partner, Pastor Thu, visited the escapees. “Why did you run away?” he asked.
 
“We still have large debts we owe in Vietnam,” they responded. “We want to stay in Taiwan to make more money and pay the debt.”

​This is the common struggle the oppressed Vietnamese migrant workers face as a whole.
The Good News​

Despite the 6 immigrants’ crime, and the suspension of our evangelistic services, the good news is that 3 of them have accepted faith in Jesus for forgiveness. Thank God for the salvation of these people who are suffering! Pastor Thu will reach out to the other 3 in the near future.
​
Prayer Request​

The forceful escape prompted the government authorities to order the termination of all activities in the detention centers. Please pray that we can re-open the evangelistic services in Yilan and Sanxia detention centers.

Fortunately we have still been able to continue ministry in the prisons, even if we can't in the immigration detention centers. For the prison ministry, we are increasing our food cooking and Bible teaching on several programs. We are also on the second Bible memorization contest. This time there are more inmates engaged and more prizes have been given out too. This is the way to implement social help instead of assisting them with money without any conditions. Sister Diep is doing very well to assist us on this ministry; otherwise we wouldn't have enough energy to implement the task.
