Inmates of a maximum security prison were baptized!
Maximum security prison
The God Behind Bars ministry has been working inside prison walls to preach the Gospel to the incarcerated. Their mission is to help the inmates and their families find true freedom in Jesus Christ. They have also been planting prison churches so that inmates can feel the love of God and the sense of being in a community.
“We will stop at nothing, ensuring every inmate in the U.S. has direct and personal access to the gospel and spiritual resources to not only help them grow their faith, but heal trauma and wounds, break addictions and cycles, and allow them to step into their calling as sons and daughters of the Most High,” God Behind Bars website wrote.

The ministry has already preached the Gospel to more than 526,000 inmates and has planted 60 satellite churches. They have also launched a mobile app named “PandoApp” to help hopeless inmates in their cells listen to worship songs or preachings. Over 208,000 inmates now have access to the app.
Just this month, the ministry has baptized 18 inmates inside a maximum security prison. Prior to the baptisms, they had been sharing the Gospel and 35 of them accepted Jesus in their lives. On that same day, more than half of those who accepted Jesus decided to get baptized.
“Baptisms inside of prisons are very rare, this is truly a miraculous moment. Many of these men are serving 10 years to LIFE in prison! But God!!! Now they have found their freedom and hope in the only one who can truly set us free… Jesus,” they wrote.
To celebrate this glorious victory, they took to YouTube to share some videos taken from the baptism.
“We’re praising God for this win & know that heaven is celebrating with us!”
