“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 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.”

“I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did it for me.”

(Matthew 25: 35-37, 40, NIV)

God’s greatest commission to his people is to bring the gospel to the ends of the world. In January 2005, Alpha Course (Hong Kong) was recruiting volunteers from international churches for the first ever English-speaking Prison Alpha in Hong Kong. About 22 members from our congregation responded to the recruitment drive. Subsequently, in February 2005, two training sessions were organized jointly by Alpha Course (HK), Kung Sun Christian Association and our church.

The first English Prison Alpha started in Ma Po Ping in March 2005 and we were able to minister to inmates from India, Sri Lanka, Mongolia, Pakistan, China, Philippines and local. Thanks to the Lord for helping the inmates and our team members in overcoming some hurdles, including language barriers and differences in our faith. By the grace of God and the continuous efforts of the team members, friendship and trust started to build slowly with the inmates. When we celebrated at the graduation ceremony, we could see the joy and the excitement on their faces and we gave all glory to God Almighty.

God revealed to our church HIS heart for those thirsty souls captive behind bars and HE calls us to be HIS agents to roll-in the divine provision to them. In 2006, a door has been opened for us to bring the Alpha course to Pik Uk Prison, while we continue running a new course in Ma Po Ping. The response and support from our congregation is very encouraging and we can see people are really on fire for sharing the gospel to inmates. We trust that God is working amongst us.

Apart from the transformation of lives of the inmates, our members are also richly blessed by this participation in this ministry. We are amazed by and the power of the Holy Spirit and members are much encouraged in their Christian walk and faith. Click here to read members’ testimony.


We are looking into the future to develop prayer and correspondence ministries to inmates, so those in the team who cannot commit to weekend visits can also help in the prison ministry.
