An American delegation visited the Tripoli and Baabda prisons for women giving gifts to prisoners.
During the event, Sister Joy gave her testimony in the prison courtyard in front of all prisoners:
“I was homeless, often roaming around in the streets seeking a shelter where I could sleep or a compassionate person who would give me a piece of bread to eat.
For years, I knew what it meant to be hungry, thirsty, cold as well as emotionally and morally drained. I tried to fill my emptiness with drugs, alcohol and outrageous acts that led me to prison, where I spent ten years of my life. It was there that I came to know the Lord as my Savior, and surrendered my life to Him.”
Sister Joy invited the prisoners to accept Jesus as their Savior! The impact of her words was quite evident on the faces of her audience.
Then, sister Linda, who had come to Christ while in prison of Tripoli, read Hebrews 12 and meditated on the topic of God's discipline.
Counselor Hasiba closed the meeting in prayer.
