An ex-convict who spent 15 years in jail has resolved to follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ, and act as a Messiah to ex-prisoners who need hope in life.
The story by The Spectator says Mr Jacob A. Atuliba, who was sentenced in 1982 to 15 years in prison by the first Public Tribunal at Bolgatanga for allegedly spending ?60,000 to renovate a public building, set up the Preach Christ-prison Ministries in 1994 to provide spiritual, moral and trade skills to ex-prisoners.
“The idea was to guide and assist, resettle and reintegrate them into society and avoid those evil deeds which sent them to prison.” During an exhaustive interview with 'The Spectator', Mr. Atiliba said, "having been incarcerate for 15 years, I accepted Christ as my personal saviour in the prison.
“Experiencing the goodness of God and having acknowledged his miraculous works done in my life, I dedicated my life to the preaching of the gospel to other prisoners who have passed through my experience and those still passing through it."
