In the aftermath of the terrible prison fire in Honduras that has clamed at least 359 lives (as of this writing), more and more attention is being given to the inhumane conditions in corrections facilities worldwide.
Appearing on the Christian Broadcasting Network’s News Channel Morning News, Prison Fellowship International CEO Ron Nikkel addresses these issues, and explains why it is important to proclaim the Gospel to prisoners in both word and deed:
We have to demonstrate God’s love with practical concern on issues [inmates] care about – issues affecting their lives. So whether it’s hunger, medical care, or overcrowding or injustice, that’s part of what it means to display the love of Christ in prisons of the world.
