God Behind Bars ministries recently shared about a woman who reunited with her mother after 9 years. It was truly a heartwarming moment.
Another Testimony
God Behind Bars Ministries has been ministering to different prison cells throughout the United States. They have helped and led inmates to accept Jesus, be baptized, and ushered them to embrace a new life inside and outside prison. Like this man who has been imprisoned for 30 years.
“I am sentenced to 30 years for armed robbery; knowing Jesus and having a relationship with Jesus is a big difference. And for many years, I knew Jesus. I knew of Jesus, but I didn’t have a relationship with Him,” he said. “It was in 2008 that I came to have a relationship with Jesus. A prison without God? There’s no worse prison than any prison that man can ever make.”

9 Years Later
The ministry organized an event so that families could be reunited together. One particular story is about an incarcerated woman who was reunited with her mother after 9 years of separation. While she waited to see her mother, she was crying uncontrollably on the red carpet. Indeed, God restores families together. After a while, the woman asked the ministers if she could get baptized. Not only that, her niece was also moved to get baptized. Praise God!
Another testimony is about a man who was sentenced to 20 years in prison. But now he is a former prisoner who has been leading hundreds of people to Christ. In a detailed post, RJ shared his testimony. He likened it to the story of the prodigal son in the Bible.
God Behind Bars Ministry
“Since 2009, God Behind Bars has partnered with churches around the country to transform the lives of prison inmates and their families. Most prisoners—as many as 92% of all incarcerated individuals—will be released back to society at some point, and 75% of them will return to prison within three years. We address this problem with a unique three-step approach that focuses on the physical, spiritual, and relational needs of inmates and their families.
By inviting God into prison and showing His love in tangible ways, God Behind Bars is restoring lives, building faith, fighting addictions, reconnecting families, and giving thousands of inmates hope for the future.” – God Behind Bars
