Jail Ministry











Our jail ministry has now expanded to three branches, ministering to two groups of male inmates and to one group of female inmates.

Last August 21, 2009, we visited the larger of the two male groups to bring vegetarian food and herbal medicine.

While our brethren inside jail are happy enough to hear God's Word during each of our weekly visits, they became even more thankful with the addition of our humble material gifts.

The simple meal we brought was to them a great feast, given the scant conditions of prisons in the country.

They were most thankful for the garlic and turmeric capsules that were distributed and for the homemade herbal liniment that were also given away.

Conditions in the jail are so difficult that a large fraction of the inmates sleep on cold, bare cement floors.

In our meager wealth, we try to share our blessings with these brothers whenever possible.

Our thanks go to the Aguda family who generously support our various lines of ministry, to the brethren of Royal Valley SDA Church who untiringly spent time and energy in the preparation of the food and medicine, and, of course, to our Heavenly Father who unceasingly watches over His people.
