Take prisons, for instance. My friend Don McCullough, President of San Francisco Seminary, quotes Charles Colson's account of a visit to a Brazilian prison that was turned over to two Christians twenty years ago. They called it Humaita, and their plan was to run it on Christian principles. Every prisoner is assigned another inmate to whom he is accountable. In addition, every prisoner is assigned a volunteer family from outside that works with him during his term and after his release.
Every prisoner joins a chapel program, or else takes a course in character formation.
Wherever I walked I saw men at peace. I saw clean living areas, people working industriously. The walls were decorated with biblical sayings from Psalms and Proverbs. Humaita has an astonishing record. That incredible story has only one explanation.
