On the 19th of September, 2008, Mercy Ministries had the privilege to visit prisoners in ? Murchison Bay Prison. Although these outreaches are always life transforming bolt for the inmates and the Ministry Team, there was something phenomenal about its particular visit.

Although we had planned our visit way ahead and knew how much we needed in terms of logistics, it was not until Friday afternoon that we were able to purchase the items we needed, it was also around the sometime after a week of haggling with prison officials that we were eventually given permission to visit a process that often takes 4 days at maximum on any alter visit.

As a team we had agreed to meet at the Vfi office by 10:00am and set off the same hourso as to spend plenty of time ministering to the inmates, but as fate would have it there was a heavy downpour that started in the three hours of that Saturday morning to 10:00am. By the time the members started arriving it was past 11:00am. By midday we had only made of 4 people, but thanks be God who leads us in triumph, we put on our ? of faith to ? the ? darts of discouragement and despair and ? our feet with shoes taking the gospel of peace and as onward Christian soldiers we marched on the Luzira Prison with the cross of Jesus going before us.

As divine as this visit was our reception this time ? unlike previous visits was really warm and less ?, we were ? given ? way to prison chapel ? much identification apart from our letter of automation.

Although we were to minister alongside a white couple, we were given the opportunity considering ? were for ? session. With glaringly no presence of any musical instrument apart from locally made drum, the inmates ushered into ? Praise and worship characterized by shouting, clapping, dancing and jumping regardless of those around them by filled with the joy of the Lord, just like king David danced.

As the main preacher delivered his summon the Holy Spirit gave him insight in the ? revelation concerning freedom and liberty. For the inmates and the visitors ? we came to the ? Realization that freedom is not being outside the iron bars of Luzira prison but a state of the mind for He who ? the Son free is free indeed. (this explained the hindrances and ? we encountered in trying to make this visit a reality).

As our preacher continued ministering, the ? was received with thunderous ? as it fell on fertile ground, raising the faith of many and setting us free from ? and challenges. At the climax of it the truth let many free ?. ? young inmates responded to the other call and gave their lives to the Lord which is uncommon in Murchison Bay in spite of the several preachers who visit the prison.

As we wind up ? Thanksgiving praise their was a sense of ? and joy among everyone present, a physical manifestation the ? that had our minds board had been ?.

For he who the Son sets free is free indeed whether on death row in a maximum ? or sunbathing on the shores of lake Victoria.
