During the Holidays, the Evangelical council visit all the prisons in Lebanon; and give out gifts foods and sweets. In addition, avail the opportunity to explain to the prisoners the meaning of the holiday and the person represented thereby.

Currently, the most distinguished feature in the prison ministry, is the transition to a state of internal organization especially in the biggest central prison which homes 7500 prisoners, and where the religious services to other sects are proceeding well.
A number of born-again prisoners from various religious back-grounds were appointed as assistants by the two counselors Michel and Farid.
These assistants register the names of the prisoners who desire to hear the message of the Gospel and urge them to proceed to the big hall before the sermon starts.
The two counselors even succeeded in getting the permission of the central prison administration to provide those assistants with a special pass card that enables them to enter all prison cells in order to accomplish their mission.
As for the nature of the prison meetings, it resembles to a great extent the church meetings, in the fact that they start with prayers and worship.
Yet, the hymn which most of the prisoners prefer is the following;
He did not come to judge the world,
He did not come to blame;
He did not only come to seek,
It was to save He came.

Trying to encourage the prisoners who accepted the Lord Jesus Christ, the counselors ask them to witness to the work of Jesus in their lives in front of those present in the big hall.
