In this episode OPC minister, Lowell Ivey, joins host David Nakhla, to talk about the importance of ministry to those in prison, specifically to the surprisingly large number who are in the family of God. Lowell talks about the importance of a Reformed approach to prison ministry, and points out the profound void that mature believers in prison often feel when they are not enjoying regular interaction with fellow believers, receiving the sacraments and necessary pastoral care.
Lowell shares from his experience how vital it is for inmates to have regular contact with Christ's church and how deacons can be a vital resource in leading their churches in this ministry. Lowell reflects on his life changing time in prison; from his conversion, subsequent call to ministry and the path on which the Lord has led him from inmate to preacher of the Gospel.
Learn about the profound impact of family visits and letters on inmates' lives as Lowell shares his personal experiences of spiritual growth through correspondence with a mentor pastor. Lowell highlights the importance of viewing inmates as our neighbors, affirming their worth in Jesus' name and how the church community can collectively support incarcerated individuals and their families through diaconal ministry.
This episode is essential listening for anyone interested in finding out more about the powerful impact of loving those behind bars.
