Hundreds heard the gospel and dozens were baptized in one of the nation’s most notorious prisons. God is moving in unlikely places!
From CBN. The Holy Spirit moved on nearly 1,000 men and women – who are serving time behind bars – during an evangelist gathering held at one of the largest maximum-security prisons in the nation, a national prison ministry reports.

God Behind Bars, which works to restore the lives of inmates through faith-building outreach programs, recently invited men and women from nine prisons in Louisiana to a revival event held at Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola, Louisiana.
According to the organization, 1,000 inmates arrived, 300 incarcerated men and women gave their lives to Jesus, and more than 50 were spontaneously baptized in water. …

Louisiana State Penitentiary, also known as Angola, is the largest maximum-security prison in the United States.
God Behind Bars is on a mission to reach the more than 2.3 million people in the prison system, including those serving sentences at Angola. …
God Behind Bars CEO Jake Bodine started the ministry in 2009 to “reach the least of these” and it has blossomed into a revival-type movement at correctional facilities across the country.
“We have seen almost 1,000,000 salvations,” he shared in an online video. “Over 10,000 baptisms! Jesus gets the glory, it’s all about Him. Just remember, your seemingly small YES to God, can go farther than you could ever imagine. Give God your YES!”
During the outreach at Angola, inmates were given a hot meal, a pair of socks, and soap in addition to worshipping together and hearing about the redemptive love of Jesus Christ.
As a result, 50 incarcerated men, including a prison security officer, were baptized in a large tub during the service. The ministry reported that for more than 30 minutes “man after man flooded down to the baptism pool.” …

LORD GOD’ PLEASE CONVICT THE LOCAL SHERIFF JOE MC GILL WHO IS REFUSING PRISON MINISTRIES AND ALL FOIA REQUESTS. CLEARLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND ILLEGAL AS WELL AS UNLAWFUL. THIS TYRANT IS AND HAS BEEN OUT OF CONTROL FOR YEARS, TORTURING PRISONERS AND CORRUPT JUDGES WHO REFUSE TO ADMINISTER JUSTICE. NYE COUNTY IN NEVADA IS THE MOST CORRUPT COUNTY IN AMERICA, ACCORDING TO THE FBI. PLEASE END THIS MAN’S TYRANNY.
I ASK IN JESUS’ NAME.
AMEN
DEAR LORD GOD
PLEASE BRING THE CHANGES TOOUR OWN LOVAL JAIL WHICH DENIES ANY SPIRITUAL HELP TO THE PRISONERS. NO PASTORS, MINISTERS OF ANY KIND ARE ALLOWED I THE NYE COUNTY JAIL, (THE MOST CORRUPT COUNTY IN AMERICA ACCORDING TO THE FBI) IN THE STATE OF NEVADA. THOSE POOR SOULS ARE BEING DENIED A CHANCE AT SALVATION. LORD GOD HELP THEM
I ASK IN JESUS’ NAME
AMEN
How do I get involved in this ministry?
We rejoice with those who rejoice!! Lord, may this be a powerful awakening – true repentance leading to salvation, healing, restoration, deliverance, Holy Spirit baptism, discipleship, transformation – ultimately lives fully committed to following hard after You and walking in obedience to whatever calling You have destined for them.
This is a wonderful thing. I pray that revival might spread to those who are not physically in prison, to our society in general. Thank you Jesus, for what You are about to do in our nation.
Lord, we praise and thank you that you can turn a prison sentence into an opportunity to meet our Lord as Savior. I heard many testimonies in Kairos ministry and I pray that you will open floodgates of your saving grace upon millions of those deceived by the enemy of our souls to see your glory. Amen
I mentor for Crossroads Prison Ministry which does not physically go into prisons but instead prisoners do a Bible study through mail. Each lesson when completed is sent to a mentor to review and aid their comprehension plus return with a letter of encouragement and Biblical counsel. For many, it is the only mail they get so it is more than a study- it is a gift of love from outside their prison walls. Crossroads always needs mentors especially bilingual.
Each ministry has its own approach using talents and availability of those who desire to “visit those in prison.”
Lord, we ask you today to raise up many whose gifts for writing, visiting with empathetic listening, and administration and courage to create innovative ways to save the lost are mightily used for your glory. Amen.
Thank you for your service, Janet, to this largely unreached group of people. How sad that many of them landed in prison because they did not hear and/or respond to the Gospel, and now are still not hearing it. They are a captive audience. They deserve to hear and hopefully respond to the message of salvation in Yeshua.
