Liberian Prisoner's Story of Faith

Liberian Prisoner’s Story of Faith

When Gebah Massaquoi found himself an inmate at Monrovia Central Prison, he had hate in his heart for Christianity.

Thanks to the Hope For Brighter Future Project, he was able to attend their Hope Event, where the Gospel gripped his heart and erased the hate. After graduating from their 11-week education program, Gebah has a new perspective and a new life even in his harsh surroundings.

VIDEO SCRIPT

Gebah Massaquoi – Beneficiary
But it’s not a mistake I came here. It’s not a mistake. Yeah. I was an imam for 15 years now. I’ve been one of the persons who really hated Christianity. But God had a plan for me. He never wanted me to experience this plan out there. So he brought me here. It’s not a mistake. When I first came to prison I was upset.

Moses Paye – Pastor
Hope for a Brighter Future project aims to reach inmates with the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, and also help disciple those who come to faith in Christ as a result.

Love Gibson – Samaritan’s Purse
We have an activity called the Hope event. We go out into the prison, bring those men out, and get the pastors and the church partners. They come, and we sing and dance, and then the pastor preach and do an altar call.

Those of them that give their life to Jesus Christ we enlist in into the program. We take them through for 11 weeks. And after the 11 weeks study, then we do another event that is comprised of graduation.

Gebah
God brought me here for good. This is not a punishment, but he brought me for me to get my senses.

With the intervention of the Samaritan’s Purse. Because of that project, it’s actually transforming lives.

Moses
And when I saw those graduates, I could only but just thank the Lord and praise the Lord for great things that He has done.
