Three prisoners have been baptised at HMP Chelmsford after attending weekly Bible studies run by Daylight Christian Prison Trust.
“It was a very emotional service, and other prisoners attending were clearly moved,” said CEO Gaius Phillingham. Alex, Douglas and Hugh shared how God had worked in their hearts and lives.
Another prisoner who witnessed the baptisms has approached a chaplain and asked: “Why not me, I can say what they said, could I be baptised?” Gaius added: “It was a joy to hear from an officer that one of the candidates is ‘a changed man’, and to hear him give testimony that it is because he is now the Lord’s.”
