Weightlifting
On 24th August 2015, Rescue Foundation organized in Aiud prison a visit of the TAUGH TALK missionary team from England. Their work is one unconventional, and I quote from their website: " Tough Talk is a registered charity dedicated to sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ in an informal way that appeals to people who would not normally go to a church meeting. Tough Talk is made up of a group of men with backgrounds of ex-bouncers, ex-football hooligans and ex-East End hard men who have turned their backs on their past. Many of the team are very keen powerlifters. All the team feel that having let God into their lives, they now have an urgent need to share their experiences with the hope of helping others. They have found that the message of hope in Jesus Christ reaches people from all backgrounds and age groups.” In the morning at 10 o'clock on the sports ground of the prison unit, the team made up from: Arthur White, former world weightlifting champion, Ian McDowall bodybuilding champion and others spoke in front of more then 150 detainees about their life experience. As of successful people with families, some with million-dollar businesses, have come to have no more. Some because of steroid use and later drugs, others because of criminal career in parallel with sports life, they lost everything but came to know God. Now they live differently , in legality and fulfilling a purpose in life ,they want to share with others the joy and peace after the meeting with God. The speeches were interrupted by brief musical moments but also demonstrations of Power lifting and bodybuilding with the bench and weights that were donated at the end to Aiud prison unit. A great success was the competition of pushing the bar to the chest between inmates. At the end the English friends donated 150 parcels with personal higienic items and also christian books. We believe that their mission had an impact in the lives of many and we hope to work with them in future.
  • Love in Christ

    My dear brothers and sisters, Grace and peace from our Heavenly Father to the whole church. We thank God that He answered our wish and prayer, and our meeting was possible. God knows we need messengers like you, that are willing to share His great and unfailing love.
  • I want the Bible to be the compass of my heart

    I will start by writing this testimony, that on this side of the correspondence there is a man who has done wrong by earthly laws, a man who is paying with 9 years of his freedom, a man who is accused of sinning greatly, a man (if he can still be called that) who is still asking in all humility for forgiveness and salvation, a man who is seeking peace with God.
  • I know the Word of God but I wish I know it better, to think about it and receive it in my soul

    Every time the danish group visit us I feel a great joy. I would like to correspond with some of you and discuss about life, destiny and of course about our faith in Jesus Christ. I am 31 years old, and when I was 16, my life took on a wrong way.
  • What? Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?

    Thank you for sustaining and for encouraging me through the biblical courses you had . Not so long time ago I was interned in Colibasi Penitentiary, but I've never doubted the Word of God, because I knew that God was all the time with me, and when I prayed I gave him thanks for everything.
  • My sinful soul rejoice when it got to know God

    I met you, in a place called “hell” and my sinful soul rejoiced when it got to know God and hear of His Love for humans, and of His great sacrifice -the only beloved Son. If God made this sacrifice for all people, my answer is that I want to be like you, not to be ashamed of myself, to become a child of God, to return Home to my Father, and to do what He wanted me to do.
  • He made from me a new man

    Blessed be our Good God because He takes care of the siners like me, who searches Him and finds Him.The biblic course that I made by correspondence with you made me very interested in the Word of God and it made from me, what I didn't expect to do, he made from me a “new man”.
