We were escorted into the room, where we would meet with the men, by what appeared to be a senior representative from the prisoner ranks. He was given keys to the doors and rooms and seemed to be in charge of supervising our visit. This is the first time I’ve spoken in a prison without a guard present. The number of the group was supposed to be 25 but I think the nice weather pushed the number down to 10 or 12That is the smallest group we have ever encountered at any of the prisons. The week before we had with us a real guitarist and native Slovak who was able to lead the guys in singing some worship songs. This time it was up to me. Ive learned a few songs in Svk and have also translated one or two choruses into Svk from other songs so that the men can fully participate. Most of the prisoners we meet really enjoy singing. In addition, when we sing worship songs there is a noticeably different atmosphere in the room when we finish the songs. Its feels like we are turning a dark room into a well lit room.
