May I, as the Commissioner of Correctional Service of Solomon Islands, frankly thank God who has led us from the very beginning with hope, providence and guidance. I would like to sincerely invite Church Ministries, Government and Stake Holders must reach our brothers and sisters inmates with the Gospel. Christ died for these men and women. God longs to transform and use them for his glory.
In this Easter season, Christ will be the Passover lamb has been sacrificed for the inmates at Rove Central Correctional Centre and all Provincial Correctional Centres across the country. Let them therefore rejoice by putting away all malice and evil and confessing their sins with a sincere and true heart.
‘’May the power of the resurrection of Jesus Christ fill the heart of our brother and sister inmates with hope and purpose of this Easter season”
Easter is the perfect reminder for our inmates to abstain from their wicked habits and ask God to instill virtuous habits in their lives to know there is violence within the walls of many prisons, to ask that God would give them a sense of agency. Pray that instead of simply allowing circumstances to take place around them—in prison, this is may be the structure of things—God would give them the desire to be an agent of change.
By the grace of God, let this Easter season be filled with confidence, joy and bring you hope for a better tomorrow, to fear the Lord and to trust God for His continuous guidance and protection.
Thank you and May God bless Solomon Islands from shore to shore.
