As always I love joining Carpenter John for his Bugembe
prison
ministry services on Thursday or Sunday afternoon. He’s been serving as
chaplain for more than 10 years and I’ve been joining him about once monthly
for almost 4 of those 10 years. Initially we were allowed to sneak a few photos
but as the prison system tightened up, photos were no longer permissible. These
photos are from early visits but nothing much has changed since then.
Chrystina did a wonderful job relating the story of Queen
Esther to the male prisoners and we even had an opportunity to talk about how
to treat their wives (i.e., not as the king did Queen Vashti). Sorry no pix of
the girls (sniffle).
