The Gospel Coalition

John Piper writes about the opportunity to preach the gospel to prisoners in Louisiana’s Angola Prison, the largest maximum-security prison in America. Pray for those who heard the Word–especially for four of the men who were on death row. Piper personally preached the gospel to “G.B.,” who is scheduled to be executed soon.

The story of Angola is a fascinating and encouraging one. In the 14 years since Warden Burl Cain has been at the helm, it has gone from the bloodiest prison in the US to one with a virtual church and seminary within its walls.
