Dear Bro. Ron,
Greetings in the Name of Jesus Christ. Thank you for your reply, it was nice
hearing from you.
I am very much encouraged by letter especially concerning the prison ministry
in Africa and Uganda in particular. I was inspired by the late Bro. Bessette when
he came to our country years back. We started this prison ministry in the
early 1990s but as I shared with you due to the hardships which we could not
meet could not continue. However it has been a very great burden on my heart
for the prison inmates and one day I was very much challenged when I met
on man and he greeted me "Pastor Samson praise God!" I replied the
Brother and then told him that I was sorry I didn't know him. He went a head
to explain to me that I preached to him when he was in prison and he gave his
life to Christ and later he was released from jail and still was standing as a
Christian. I almost burst into tears to see that i had failed in such an
affective ministry. Later again one man came looking for me and when he
introduced himself to me, he was a Brother who had believed after I preached
to him in prison and after being released he wanted me to go and open up a
church on one of the Islands on Lake Victoria where he lived but then I could
not even afford transporting my self to this island and up to now I have a
burden for the prison.
As you mentioned in your letter every has its season with God and we need to
pray to be able to meet the inmates needs. I will certainly hold to my vision
for the prison ministry in prayer and will be very glad when God opens away
financially for the prison ministry. Surely God hears and knows the need if we
can only believe.
Hoping to keep in touch with you.
May God bless you as we work together in this harvest time.
Shalom!
Your Bro. Samson Lubogo

Dear beloved Bro. Ron,
Greetings in the precious Name of Jesus Christ. I am glad to hear from you my
Brother as you said I have surely caught the vision this is something that has
troubled my heart for many years especially when I remember those Brothers who
believed from the Prison and wanted me to go and start up churches in their
areas and I failed due to lack of enough support, that burden has never left
my heart. We can do much evangelism and win souls in prison ministry than any
where else because here get people who are real desperate and willing.
