Nigeria\u2019s prisons are becoming unlikely centers of revival. Through Prisoners For Christ\u2019s (PFC) International Bible Institute, inmates across Nigeria are not only finding faith in Jesus but also becoming Christian leaders who disciple others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a Bible college inside the prison for inmates,\u201d explains Don Szolomayer, Director of International Affairs at PFC. \u201cThere are 143 total lessons in the whole course. So, it takes about three to four years, depending. But the goal is once they go through all of that, those who graduate from it now become what we call an inmate chaplain.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These inmate chaplains are trained to evangelize, teach, and disciple others through Scripture. The impact of this ministry is spreading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recently, Nigeria\u2019s prison chaplains took their training to a new level. \u201cAbout three or four weeks ago, they held a crusade with all of their inmate chaplains [who] have graduated,\u201d says Szolomayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey got permission from the officer in charge to go cell-by-cell evangelizing. Then on top of that, they had a full crusade out in the yard. This all went on for over a week and a half!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
