A small report about my visit to prison PI Hazard during my prisontour in Suriname.~ On the 4th day we took the car and a van for a 4 hour drive to Nickerie, a town not too far from my family’s village, Coronie. During the drive I saw beautiful palmtrees, rice fields, jungle parrots and lots of banana trees. After we arrived we visited the local bookshop of #SBG that sells my books and we then went for dinner at the local Javanese restaurant. After that we drive to the prison. ~ It was a prison with a fairly open character. The inmates in grow their own crops of vegetables, they hold ducks and they can do errands outside the prison. The frontgate was not so strict but all guards do walk around armed. The atmosphere was quite peaceful and the men that I spoke to were very open about their life and goals eventhough some of them had committed heavy crimes. One man also shared about his struggle of staying on the right path cause when he faces adversity he still finds he wants to do the right thing but ends up doing the wrong thing. I encouraged him to keep on pursuing the right thing and ask for help from God and his family when troubled. This conversation also triggered me to think of a way how to set u a buddy program in Suriname Cause there is a great need for it. ~ ~ After sharing my story we sang some more songs and I closed with a prayer and I left some of my books there. It was a good day! #trip #tour #jail #prison #change #story #choices #pihazard #testimony #suriname #lifechanging #blackrockstar #prisonfellowship #surinambiblesociety (bij Nickerie, Nickerie, Suriname)
