Brief
Description of Ministry:
|
In our country those things are working like this;
The state pays pastors (one from the Lutheran and one from the other churches) to work as ministers in custodies and jails. Every custody and jail has at least two ministers.
In my work at my city's custody, I`m at the custody six hours a week. As I arrive the staff can tell me if there is anyone who needs to see me more than the other. The nurse is very good in knowing who is in big needs. As I walk around I use to give priority to those who are very young or/and very isolated.
Once a week I talk with a group about ethics and morals. Quite a exciting time!!
Now and than I also give the staff opportunity to get a chat about there problems.
I have been minister in jails too. I have been among those people almost all my time as a minister.
