Changed Lives

him. But his heart was hardened.
One night, I had a dream that Old Man visited my cell and
knelt down, asking me to pray with him the sinner’s prayer. I
immediately told him to get up as I was just a servant of God.
I awoke and realised it was a dream. The next morning at
about 9am, to my astonishment Old Man actually came over to
my cell asking me to pray with him to invite Jesus into his life
as his personal Saviour. He then asked to baptised.
This is just one instance of how God communicates his
purposes to His servants through dreams and visions. He
showed me ahead of time what He was going to do with the
life of Old Man. After he was released from prison I lost touch
with him, but I hope to meet him again someday. I know that
if that is not possible in this lifetime, our reunion will be in
Heaven.
In Kajang Prison, there were a number of Africans as well.
Solomon was a Nigerian who was doing time for printing
counterfeit money. He had been a Christian but his faith was
not grounded in God’s Word and he was lured by worldly
trappings. He slipped into a life of crime that resulted in his
prison term of seven years. Going by the parole system, he
would be in jail for 56 months or 4 years and 8 months.
As I shared God’s word with Solomon, he agreed to
read the Bible himself. I lent him materials from the Bible
correspondence courses that I took. He also started learning
to play the guitar. We used to sing and worship God together
in my prison cell. I then invited him to join in the chapel
service where he played the guitar.
After being released, he came to visit me once but was not
allowed to meet me. However, he left behind some money
for me to use. Of all the Africans whom I had shared with,
he was the only one who came back to visit me. I learnt from
others that he had registered himself as a student with a local
college. Very tragically, he was murdered in the apartment
where he stayed. Others who knew Solomon later told me
that he used to share the gospel and play the guitar for the
Christian Fellowship meetings at his college.
