God In The Ordinary: Richard Stephens

God In The Ordinary

Prison ministry isn’t easy. So, is it worth it? Are there any encouraging outcomes from sharing the gospel in a prison? Can people convicted of crimes find freedom in Christ? Richard Stephens, UK Chairman of Kairos Prison Ministry International, is our guest for this edition. Richard tells us of how he’s seen God work in incredible and life-changing ways within the prison system, through the volunteer work he does with Kairos; shares how he has personally seen men have their lives turned around by the supernatural power of Jesus; and talks about the great need for the Gospel within prison walls and how it must partner with the academic to lead people into whole-life healing, encouraging new ways of thinking and living. As we talk, it becomes clear it’s the love of Jesus that draws the broken towards spiritual freedom: Richard helps us understand the many ways we can show that love. We also learn about surprising ways to serve in the Kairos ministry that don’t require us to go to the prison at all! The Bible is clear that Christians ought to reach out to those in prison with the truth of the absolute freedom found in Jesus. Richard’s passion on this subject will motivate you to respond.
