Jester 3, ”Now I See!”

Jester Unit

The meeting took place last Thursday, April 11th, 2024. Together with the UBB volunteers, the YPG group was in the male prison. That day, the YPG group presented the rap “I Lost a Lot,” a song that says everyone can start over and rebuild their lives despite losing a lot. Bishop Bira Joshua had the opportunity to do the “Straight Talk” podcast together with some of the inmates.

We had the open call service with approximately 250 inmates. At the meeting, the theme was “Now I See,” many had not seen the results in their lives because of spiritual blindness (John 9:1, 6-7, and 25)—prayer for the family. At the end of the meeting, the volunteers were at the disposal of those who would like to receive care and prayers. After the meeting, Bishop Bira visited those who were in segregation.

Jester 3—Thursday, April 11th

On Thursday, April 11th, 2024, the Jester 3 Unit welcomed the UBB and Bishop Joshua for the long-awaited open call service. The line to enter the Chapel extended back to the main building as men were excited to participate in the service. One of the officers signing in the inmates said that they never had so many people in the Chapel before for a service.

The event started with the YPG dance and competitions. The 210 men in attendance were joyful and ready to be blessed. They participated in the dance and competitions presented by the YPG.

Bishop Joshua began the service with testimonies of blessed men participating in the classes and the monthly service held at the unit. After praying and drinking the divine water, one was healed from a black spot on his lungs. The other was blessed to go home after 39 years and seven months of incarceration.

The others were also blessed to go home by the end of the month after being incarcerated for 32 years. Bishop Joshua determines healing and deliverance based upon the word in John 9:25, “… though I was blind, now I see.” After this, a special prayer called the most extensive chain for the family was made so that the men could hear from and see their family again.

The word of salvation was given to open the men’s eyes to the dangers of grudges and revenge and the blessings of peace that come with forgiveness. Bishop Joshua spent time seeking the Holy Spirit with the men and determined God’s peace upon their lives.

The band and choir of the Chapel had written and presented a song for the UBB and decided to give the music rights to the UBB.

The service ended, but the men did not want to leave the Chapel. They all enjoyed and were blessed from the beginning to the end of the service, and they are looking forward to the next event.
