Today I went back to Lucena to visit the prison. About seven years ago two lay members started a weekly prison ministry there on Thursdays. Today there are about one hundred church members in the 1,300 inmate prison. Today I had the privilege of baptizing twelve more. One of them will be released tomorrow. I told him that tomorrow the government will set him free but today Jesus set him free. Others who have been baptized in the past have been released and are active members of the local churches in
their hometowns.
