Pr. Javier Moliner, responsible of Ministry in Prisons for the Seventh Day Adventist Church in Spain explained on camera how the message of hope is brought to inmate women in Alcalá Meco.

This documentary focuses on how encouraging words, full of hope and comfort may bring inmates to raise again and re-conduce their own lives through a new and different lifestyle.

The volunteer labor of visitors every Sunday, bringing the imprisoned women reading materials, as well as clothes and essentials, and oftenly messages from their relatives living overseas. This makes them feel accepted, beloved, valuable despite their past mistakes and makes them willing to become part of the society once again. Reintegration with love and care, on a comprehensive way, facilitating and supporting their journey through positive changes brings them to emulate Christ’s followers.

Last weekend Women Ministries in Spain celebrated a national convention. In this occasion the baptism of one imprisoned woman took place as the public expression of her conversion and life change. Raquel, Roberto and Armando were filming the ceremony, a very emotive one according to the present public.
