Have our relationship with God been affected because of sins in our lives? How is it that we do not experience God in our lives?

Have we been hurt, wounded, time and again by people around us? How should we think and act towards them? What happens when we choose not to forgive others? Is it possible to forgive those who have sinned against us? What is true forgiveness?

Are we aware that there is some direct link between a person’s spiritual condition and his or her overall health condition? Modern scientific research by Henry W. Wright has documented that there are spiritual roots of specific diseases.

Healing of the spirit, soul and body is divinely made possible when we come to Jesus Christ to seek forgiveness for our sins and the sins of others.

Do not hesitate any longer to be set free from the clutches of unforgiveness. Enter into the presence of Jesus Christ to be reconciled back to God; and also to experience forgiveness & healing for our spirit, soul and body.

“… I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.” Matthew 25:35-36

PMC has been actively involved in prison ministry for more than 3 years now. To date, we have about 15 volunteers serving in our in-care, after-care, and family-care ministries.

Is the Lord calling you to serve those whom society has forgotten or marginalised? Want to find out more about what the Lord is doing in the lives of those who are in, and out of, prison?

We would like to encourage every small group to commission someone in the group to serve in this life-transforming and worldview-changing ministry.
