Together with a group of youth from Elim Pentecostal Church Cluj in April 19th I visited again Aiud Maximum Security Penitentiary. There we met with some of the detainees who frequently come to our meetings, but I had the pleasant surprise to see other detainees us who want to participate. In the first part of the meeting we sang, I had brief thoughts for them and we prayed together. All the messages even songs were about what God did for every one of them, namely that sent Jesus to die on the cross and through His blood they are clean them of their sins. I liked to see that some of them tried to play with us. I told them briefly the testimony of my life. They were attracted by what they heard. This resulted in the end of the meeting when I was bombarded with lots of questions. Some of their questions were: Why should I repent? How can I do this step? Really can God forgive us? I personally has been asked some of them: How could I repent me to jail? What I felt when I repented? and many other questions. These questions were addressed to me personally and were born after the message that I had for them. In the light of Scripture and Holy Spirit answered their questions. It was a wonderful and beneficial time for them.
In conclusion, I know that God to save many souls in Aiud. Our job is to stay at hand of God. Personally I'm glad to be part of this work.
