Setting
Prisoners and Their Families Free
FCBC Prison Ministry was
set up on 8 October 2000. This ministry begun when the
Chinese Ministry started a Chinese chapel service at
Changi Reformative Training Centre in the mid-90's.
This evolved to a Chinese cell group of about 15 to
20 inmates. Two years ago, the ministry started a cell
church inside Kaki Bukit Centre Prison School. The number
of prisoners attending the Sunday chapel services has
grown to about 80 and the majority is of the age group
between 16 and 35.
Today, over 100 volunteers led by FCBC have been penetrating
the prisons' walls to bring God's love and redeeming
power to many prisoners. Every week, both English and
Chinese church services and cell groups are conducted
in the prisons. The following signs of revival have
been witnessed on many occasions:
Sweet presence of the Holy Spirit; Prisoners steeped
in occult being delivered; Tattooed arms lifted up in
worship and surrender; Gang leaders bowing unashamedly
on their knees in response; Groups of prisoners receiving
Christ; Small prisoner prayer groups springing up; The
prisoners' family members coming to know the Lord.
Our Vision
FCBC Prison Ministry believes that what Satan has meant
for evil, God will use it for good. The very prisons
that Satan has used to hold thousands in bondage will
be the very same places that our Heavenly Father will
use to set His people free.
The vision is to bring about revival in prisons, which
will result in community transformation. When prisoners
encounter God, their lives will never be the same again.
They will be light to other prisoners and their families,
and when released, will form an army to reach out to
juvenile delinquents, gangsters, secret society members,
and reclaim the drug hot spots and our streets with
the message of God's love and the testimonies of their
transformed lives.
