A team of Flame International, a Christian
Organization from the United Kingdom UK, is in the State Capital Torit to share
the word of God and is conducting a number of activities including; visits, prayer
healing and cleansing of the land of Eastern Equatoria and South Sudan.
The leader of the team, Retired Leutenant Col Jan
Ransom, from the British Army who is also the Director of Flame International
today visited Torit Prisons and conducted prayers which shared about the love
of Jesus Christ and the fact that he died on the cross for the forgiveness of
sin.
Jan said most of the prisoners after listening attentively, chose to forgive the
people that had hurt them.
“We taught
about the love of Jesus Christ and the fact that he died on the cross so that
they may be forgiven for their sins, and they repented of their sins and many
of them received the Lord Jesus Christ as their saviour. And then we moved on
to talk about, we have received forgiveness but the bible tells us that we must
forgive other people as we have received forgiveness, and so when people have
hurt us we have to choose to forgive the other people that had hurt us in the
same way that we have been forgiven by the Lord Jesus Christ, and many
Christians chose to forgive the people that had hurt them” said Jan.
