A team of eight young people from Pentecostal church " Bethel " Arad , visited a group of 22 women in Arad prison. The program started with a moment of prayer. "Our Father " prayer , giving possibility that each person to pray aloud. After this short time,they sang three songs together with the women .
Shared biblical message was titled "Women in the Bible who received a gift ." The message shows different moments in four women lives from the Bible : Eve, Hagar, the Samaritan woman - the one who found the water of life , Syro-Phoenician woman - which received more than " crumbs " .
This message was emphasized that each of these women received a gift. Eva received a "gift " from the evil whisper to eat what was forbidden , " but " that after being accepted arrived to cause it more pain . The other three women received a "gift" from God the gift that brought joy . But the highlight of the message to the audience was that they can get a great gift ,a great forgiveness of sins , reconciliation with God and a new life through Jesus .
Finally, through an illustration of a young life , those present were told : " This gift from God is for you , you can get " pardon " of your past life , it's enough to get Him ." After three songs sung together, all who attended were served cookies and juice , during which they discussed with those who wanted to share their little soul fragments and memories . Most of the women expressed their desire to be visited.
At the end of the meeting we gave each participant a present, a pack consisting of: a little book , " Father's Love Letter for You" , chocolate, soap and absorbent .
It was a blessed time when I felt the hand of God at work !
“I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness;
I will take hold of your hand.
I will keep you and will make you
to be a covenant for the people
and a light for the Gentiles,
to open eyes that are blind,
to free captives from prison
and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness. " Isaiah 42:6-7
