Bangkok prisons


Some pictures and news from John in Bangkok


Hello
Thank you for your prayers, as you know i went to korat 3 hours north of Bangkok
God did some awesome things i have attached some photos.
Just to give you a taste of the prisons in thailand - they range from armed guards to low key prisons, food is simple rice and pig fat.  Accommodation 100 to a dorm and a fan and open toilets.
A mattress on the floor, that's it.
Sentences from 5 to 50 years normal including young girls and babies -  a sad situation, very little pre-release for the young people.
The book ‘nobodyschild’ has gone down well in the prisons and as its really hard to get into the prisons the book has been a great door opener, usually you need passport and lots of vetting but with the book am welcome into most of the prisons.
I spoke about hope and God’s grace as well as sharing my story. 30 young people made a commitment ....
I was moved to tears some of these young people may never leave prison but are free in christ.  what an awesome God we have, i am very humbled.

This is one of many prisons i visit when not doing laungage school. 
The photos show flooding in the prison and outside also pictures of the young people and the army officials and the book in thai and a comic in thai re nobodyschild and four other testimonies done by paul senior from cops and robbers uk. 
 
God Bless you all for your prayers love and support we need it.
