INSIDE AMERICA'S BLOODIEST PRISON

DISCIPLESHIP
 

Making Ministers of Inmates

 

Unlocking the potential of the church within Angola prison.
 
by Phillip Apol
 
If I told you there was a place where the church was growing dramatically—conversions followed by baptisms and discipleship, red-hot leadership development, and measurable improvements in the well-being of the surrounding community—and it was in North America, not Africa or Asia, you might not believe me.
If I told you it was happening in the nation's largest maximum security prison, Louisiana State Penitentiary, you wouldn't believe me. Given the prison's sordid history, which has inspired books and movies, including Dead Man Walking (1995) and The Green Mile (1999), it is indeed an unlikely story.
