Three Generations of Prison Ministry

Many years ago when my family arrived in Uruguay as missionaries, all we could see were people SO in need of the Lord. BUT, how do you reach a person who won’t even raise his eyes to you or a neighbor who won’t even greet you? I, Arnie, decided that I needed to go SOMEWHERE where people were hurting AND open to hear the Gospel.

Where is it that people are hurting? Certainly in the hospitals and in the prisons. I had had a previous experience in the prisons in Bolivia, having personally been enclosed while the police were investigating a vehicle that hit MY truck. (In some foreign countries, being a foreigner, YOU are wrong, almost always!!!) My curiosity and desire to serve within the prison
system began. That was where I wanted to go to meet the Uruguayan people and their needs. BUT once again, there were many holdups.
