On April 17th  2014, with a team of 4 youth: Alina C. , C. Serge, Larisa S. and S. Anamaria  from Pentecostal Church " Bethel " Arad visited woman Arad Penitentiary .

The program was attended by 28 woman. The program started with the prayer "Our Father " , said aloud , thus giving possibility that participants to pray. Between each sequence of the program were sung 2-3 songs. We offereed several copies with songs those who participated, and thus they sang with us

The program continued with two short stories about how two people came to realize the importance of reconciliation with Christ and to experience the joy of salvation. Anamaria S. recited a poem that focused on the experience of the two disciples on the road to Emmaus . Message songs , stories and poetry has touched the hearts of those present, on some woman’s face could be seen tears .

Shared biblical message was titled "Four sentenced to death." The four were convicted : Jesus - the righteous stands to death wrongfully convicted ; Barabbas - the guilty to escape the death penalty for missing time and has a chance to repent ; The first robber - sentenced to death right gets into heaven by acknowledging their own sin and righteousness of Jesus ; The second robber - sentenced to death right sees no guilt and acknowledge the righteousness of Jesus. This message emphasized three main ideas: heaven rejoices for those who repent, those who do not understand the time to research and do not repent will complain forever, those who understand research and its time crying sin will enjoy forever . The message ended with an invitation to accept that God's gift of love so great understanding of Jesus and through Him to receive true joy in their hearts.

After the biblical message , Alina C. told them about the importance of memorizing Scripture and taught with the women imprisoned verse from Jeremiah 29:11 .

Finally, all who attended were served with cookies and juice while we discussed those who wanted to share their ideeas and memories, and we were giving each participant a package consisting of: a card with a verse biblical, chocolate, absorbent ,paste and tooth brush, soap .

It was a blessed time when I felt the hand of God at work !
