Amazing testimonies of salvation and freedom in Christ Jesus have been spring out this year about how God is touching hearts and changing lives to set hundreds of prisoners free.
God Behind Bars, a prison ministry that focuses on taking the gospel to inmates, and working to restore the lives of inmates by building their faith, during incarceration and after their release, has been sharing incredible testimonies, including the story of a prisoner who had turned away from worshipping Satan by giving his life to Jesus Christ.
“I’ve seen the glory of God,” inmate Daniel told the ministry. “There is nobody greater. There is nobody more powerful, nobody more dangerous, which is good when you need a warrior on your side. He is a man of battle, for real.”
The former gang member told God Behind Bars he is “all in about Jesus,” but that wasn’t always the story.
“About a year ago is when God took me out of the satanic cult,” he shared. “I had been with the Lord before that, but I backslid and wasn’t involved in church anymore, so it was an accident that I became part of [the cult] when I was trying to learn deeper things.”
“[But] I’ve never seen anything better than what the Lord has revealed to me now,” Daniel added.
“My name is Daniel, I am in prison for a very long time. God has delivered me from gang-banging, from being on drugs, and being in a satanic cult that I’ve never seen anybody get out of. It was very dangerous for me and my family, but the Lord did many signs and wonders and miracles and revealed Himself to me, and I went from targeting demons to now casting them out.
When I hear the name of Jesus, it makes me cry. Somebody told me I praise God too much! I thank God for it all and it’s hard to stop. I’m not trying to stop! There’s lots of things I’ve seen God do that nobody else can do.
God Behind Bars is strategically working to reach the more than 2.3 million people in the prison system.
“We create satellite campuses in prisons and our whole mission is to introduce inmates to Jesus,” Isaac Holt, Director of Innovation for God Behind Bars, told CBN News.
In 2021, the ministry released its PandoApp – a faith-based app, that gives prisoners access to worship music and sermons on a tablet.
The ministry’s goal to win souls for the Kingdom of God is exploding into an ongoing outreach that is providing hope in a dark place.
