Gospel Melts Inmates and Prison Official in Mali
A crowd of murderers, thieves and other violent men, women and minors in Mali were incarcerated uneasily in the same prison when guards called them into the courtyard.

The worker knew this might be the only chance the criminals from different tribes had of hearing the gospel, the ministry leader said.
