God’s Answer to AIDS

In 2008 I was doing God’s Answer to Aids in one of the prisons, working through all the pre-release guys so that their parole requirements were met. In one of the groups was John **. He sat right in front, attended every session, listened intently and never took his eyes off my face. When we did the Forgiveness Lesson, he came to me afterwards to ask if I would help him to find forgiveness in the Lord Jesus. Right there and then, putting his hand on his chest, he said, “You see Ma’am, there is much to forgive.” That day he accepted Christ as His Saviour, finished the course and went out into a hard world.

 

 

I have prayed for John since then, but we lost contact over the years. This year I have become more and more burdened for him and have been praying earnestly that the Lord would lead me to him.

 

In August, I received this SMS: ”Afternoon Mama, I hope you are well. I have beenlooking for you for a long time, it’s John, one of your kids from prison. Can we meet up? I’m so glad that I finally get the chance to chat with you. Remember you are theone who changed my life and I’m still a man of God.“

 

Well we did meet up. He came with his wife and 4 year old daughter.We had a wonderful reunion. He is actively involved in a church fellowship; and meets up with other ex prisoners -sometimes also for Bible study. Johnis employed in a shop and trains security personnel. He has told me that when they were doing a security check on him, there was not even a record of his prison sentence!
