Nanko's Story

Nanko stared at Jess in disbelief. It wasn’t possible. There was no way that God could forgive him. He raised his shackled hands, as if to remind her of who he was; of where they were at, He was in prison – and he deserved to be. He lived a life of violence and crime. Carjacking, robbery, and assault were just a few on a long list of transgressions. As his gaze met hers, she saw defiance, shame – and hope. 

She said it again. And again. And again. God loved him and would forgive him. She said it with such conviction that Nanko started to believe it. He surrendered his life to Jesus and now experiences freedom from his sin and a hope in Christ. Upon his release from prison, the local church took him in, discipled him, and are training him to share the Good News with others. This former prisoner is now a servant of Jesus Christ.
