14 Baptisms at San Fernando District Jail

Fourteen inmates (3 females, 11 males) of the San Fernando District Jail were baptized this August 13, 2009 by the prison ministry team of the Grace Communion International (GCI) - Pampanga local congregation. The prison ministry team of GCI Pampanga has been serving for about seven years now in 3 jails in the province namely: Pampanga Provincial Jail, Angeles District Jail and the San Fernando (Telabastagan) District Jail. This prison ministry started sometime in September 2002.

Pastor Pio Umlas and Ed Estrella have both devoted 7 years of their lives to prison ministry. A Russian convert who was also baptized in jail and myself as the senior pastor of GCI Pampanga joined the team in baptizing and praying for the 14 inmates.
