The prison ministry in South Africa is led by a former police officer / former criminal Freek Vermaak, who accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord in prison. That radically changed his life and he decided to proclaim “freedom in the Lord Jesus.” to prisoners. Freek has been doing this for 18 years and experiences a growing interest from the prisoners. Since early 2019 the government allows the City Bibles to leave some bibles for prisoners to pick up. That turned out to have a great impact. Even the guards ask for a City Bible. There is a need for around 200,000 personalized City Bibles: “Freedom behind bars”.
