Prisoners across the world are ‘hungry
for spiritual food’
“Through these [Bible-based
literacy] classes, God has allowed me to learn about him and to
begin a new spiritual life,” declares Peto Kapoi, a prisoner
at Bomana, Papua New Guinea. Mr Kapoi is just one of the many
prisoners around the world who are, in the words of the Bible
Society of Papua New Guinea’s Tammy Miria, “hungry for
spiritual food.”
The next World Report will
feature stories about Bible Society ministry to prisoners in countries
as far apart as Belgium, the Philippines, South Africa and Papua
New Guinea. Through the words of prisoners and those who introduce
them to the Bible, these stories tell of the life-changing impact
of this vital element of Bible Society work.
