The son of a loving father left his home and thought he had squandered everything for nothing of any value, although he had not understood its worthlessness at the time. He was ashamed to return to his father, because he thought he had hurt him. Yet when he came home the father welcomed him with joy, because the son himself was his father's treasure. He wanted nothing else.
Prison
Ministry
We continue to distribute food weekly now
to a group of children 10km away from here.
We also keep visiting the prison (mainly
Carlos). Actually instead of speaking to a group like before, we decided to
choose 1 or 2 men that we visit regularly and focus mainly on them.
Now, that
the main person we were following up (Rui) left the prison and went home to
Mozambique, he suggested that we continue our visits to the prison to see 2 of his friends (Daniel and Agostinho), and
that’s what we have been doing for the last 6 months.
Daniel went back to Mozambique last
month and now it’s only Agostinho in the prison. Agostinho is a very likeable man,
humble and meek. He likes art and sculpture, so last time we took to him all the
materials and paint he needs to make his sculptures. He said that he wants to give them to us but we plan to sell them and give him back the money. We will visit him
again next Saturday and let’s see if the art is completed. Looking forward to see
him again.
