One individual in the group is Neville Martin born in 1979.
Neville who is studying to be a Pastor, grew up in a squatter camp and experienced terrible acts of violence and abuse as a child. This resulted in a deep sense of anger and despair, so he turned to life a crime, drugs and violence. However, he discovered that his lifestyle was unable to compensate for his hurt and he decided to commit suicide. With a pistol under his chin, ready to pull the trigger, it seemed as if some hand pushed the gun away and he sensed a voice telling him ‘Don’t do it!’
Shortly after this Neville was arrested and sent to prison where he has found peace and healing and more importantly, Jesus Christ. He believes that in prison God wants to restore and equip him to tell others about Jesus who can change their lives too.
Neville has now progressed to the point of being a top student in NBI, a man Jesus has changed into a soft loving and compassionate person, reflecting Jesus wherever he goes.
Any financial contributor towards this ministry can freely request to view the statement of results for the students in this learner group and will find they are pleasantly surprised, considering the prisoners have no internet access and a limited library for resources.
The contributions that sponsors make toward this ministry have an enormous impact on these men’s lives.
