Mysterious Ways

There are 11 prisons in our country with over 12,000 inmates. Each year the Baptist church has weekly meetings in the “prayer rooms” of each prison as well as each year having an evangelistic meeting at Christmas for all the inmates. This ministry has produced many new believers. Almost all of the church planters we work with are former inmates. Fifty percent of the church's members are former prisoners. This is a great testimony to the power of God changing lives. When top government officials visit the prisons they always take them to the “prayer rooms” since these are the cleanest and best looking. There they meet the best inmates because they are now Christians. These inmates then give the officials Christian literature. God works in mysterious ways to see His word spread.
