"Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners,
and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering."
Hebrews 13:3
"I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked
after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me."
Matthew 25:36
Partnering with the Hong Kong Christian Kun Sun Association Ltd. ("Kun Sun") and several Christian churches here in Hong Kong, ECC began her Prison Ministry in 2006 with the focus to minister to English speaking inmates. Regular visitations are made to the correctional institutions like Chi Ma Wan, Chi Sun and Lai Chi Kok. It is certainly a great privilege for ECC to bring the love of Christ and a message of salvation to those who struggle daily with burdens and a longing of understanding and caring.
Excerpts from the letter of an inmate affirms the importance of this ministry:
"...I've just written to let you know how grateful I am for sparing your time with us. Thank you. May the Lord bless you and all your fellow people in church for remembering us. In your presence we do feel that we are not forgotten. I feel the love and care you wanted to share not only for me but for all of us who are now in times of difficulties. I want to thank you more for feeding me spiritually as I compare myself to a toddler who is very hungry for the words of God. I am so sorry for myself to find the love of God very late. But there's a saying that 'late is better than nothing at all. I wish to grow more and more spiritually. Now I live in peace and I am trying my very best to live according to the word of God. Please pray for me to have enough patience and courage to finish these difficulties of my life. But I'm not sorry for being here because in this isolated island called 'Chi ma wan' I found the very precious treasure that anybody can get - 'the love of God'...."
