God Is At Work In the Midst

I want to share a story that touched me and got me thinking.
Angola Prison in Louisiana is one of the largest maximum security instititions in the U.S  The vas inmate population serving life sentence has no hope for there future. serveral years ago, the prison hired a new warden he is the one having care or charge of something  he was also  a christian. as he assumed his new postiion, he had no idea what God intended for that dismal,hopeless place. one day, a prisoner was executed for his crimes. the Holy Spirit convicted the warden that he did not know if the convict had been a christian, but he had assisted in ushering the man into ETERNITY. the warden sensed God wanting to use him to bring hope and salvation to the prison residents. his church had been going through EXPERIENCING GOD, and he decided to make the study available to any inmate who wanted to take the course. It was also offered to all those on DEATH ROW. GOD began to transform lives through the study. many of those awaiting execution became Christians. in face, so many prisoners were becoming Christians that 7 different congregations were begun throughout the prison with inmates serving as pastors. violence and drug use decreased in the prison. some of the men even was called by GOD for ministry. these prisoners were asked to be transferred to other prisons where they begun leading bible studies and leading fellow convicts in faith in CHRIST. these inmates were making such a postive impact on the prison population that warden across the country began asking Angola prison to transfer some of their TRANSFORMED prisoners to them, GOD been working in the Midst. Heb 13:5   I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
