Growing up, Tim watched his dad steal to support his drug habit. While his dad made money from stealing, he would spend it all on drugs. In order to make ends meet, his mom would take the kids stand outside the grocery store and beg.

“I saw my dad’s arms full of sores from doing drugs and I didn’t understand where all his money was going and why he was always broke.”

Rather than learn from his dad’s mistakes, Tim started doing drugs by age 15. He eventually found himself using drugs everyday and selling them to support his habit. His drug addiction took him down a road of wrong choices, which led him to two prison terms. After he got out of jail, Tim felt desperate and alone. He cried out to God and asked Him to change his life. Now, Tim now helps with the Prison Ministry. Rather than forget about his past, Tim has allowed God to use his past to minister to others.

Tim shares why he does prison ministry, “Pastor Miles challenges us to go outside the four walls of the church and do something. I am using my experience to try and impact others for Christ.”

Whether it’s a men’s prison, women’s prison, or juvenile hall, the Prison Ministry is committed to sharing God’s love with the inmates. They are working alongside Cayman pastors and churches who have adopted the local prisons to put on chapel services and Bible studies. In addition to worship and prayer, some of the members of the Prison Ministry share their testimonies of how God has helped them overcome their addictions. Watch William share his testimony.

Prison Ministry – just one of the many Do Something World projects going on this week in Cayman. Stay tuned for more project updates.
