ENGLAND "WithintheWalls"

They were stopped at the gate.After going through metal detectors and passing the inspection of K-9 dogs, the group was allowed into the prison where they would meet a room fullofinmates.

The group from Light Ministries spent two weeks in England during the Christmas holiday, presenting Christmas concerts and sharing the reason for the season in British prisons.Liberty's soccer coach,Bill Bell and his wife Mary, invited the group to work with theirministry called "Within the Walls".

The team visited nine different prisons and juvenile halls,ministering behind bars to men and women ofall ages.

Dr. Rob Jackson shared a message of grace and forgiveness with the prisoners and team members were able to talk one-on-one with inmates who had never before heard about the giftofsalvation.

Many decisions for Christ were made and Coach Bell and his wife were able to establish relationships with many oftheinmates forfuture accountability.
