Hillsong NYC: Praise God with Inmates in New York Jail

“21 incarcerated men came forward to give their lives to Christ. "

C 'As part of the “Hope Events” evenings, members of Hillsong NYC joined Chris Davenport in the prison gymnasium to celebrate worship with the inmates. This event was organized in partnership with the Jail Fellowship.

“Recently, Hillsong Church in New York joined the Prison Fellowship for a Hope Event on Riker's Island, where 21 incarcerated men came forward to give their lives to Christ. "

Le Christian post explains that it was a particularly intense moment for Jennifer Lowrey, whose father had himself been incarcerated in the same prison. As we played Hillsong United's Another in the Fire, she cried alongside an inmate:

“[This song] contains some amazing lyrics about not being alone and that Jesus is the other person in the fire with us. I stood next to the men so I could see the lyrics… I just couldn't stop crying. It moved me so much. The guy next to me couldn't stop crying. It was incredible to see. "

Each year, Hope Event, organizes 2 days of evangelistic events in hundreds of prisons across the country.
