Russell Wilson and Ciara have once again proven they are more than just a power couple.
Last week, the NFL star and musician visited Everglades Correctional Institution in Florida, where they joined more than 300 inmates in worship, courtesy of the organization God Behind Bars.
“During worship inside of a maximum security prison, @dangerusswilson brought this incarcerated brother up to sing,” God Behind Bars posted on Instagram. “As the band began to sing ‘Jireh,’ he began to sing…The whole room of 300 inmates were in shock when they heard his voice. You could feel the environment of the room change. The presence of God filled this prison chapel as these incarcerated men praised, worshipped and cheered. We will never be the same after this moment. God is working behind prison walls. Jesus still has a purpose and plan for each and every man in that room!
Other footage from the event shows 300 inmates gathered together in worship with the couple, singing and dancing alongside one another.
“Lord there’s nothing better than YOU!!!” Wilson wrote on his own Instagram post. “Over 300 Maximum Prison Inmates worshipping Jesus! His Grace and Spirit is overwhelming in the midst of mistakes He still loves and forgives.”
God Behind Bars shared that Russell, who led the inmates in prayer, recited a Bible passage that moved 27 men to give their lives to Jesus. Additionally, Ciara led the room in a rendition of “Waymaker.”
“Men came to the front and wept, giving their lives to Jesus,” God Behind Bars wrote on Instagram. “Many of these men are serving life sentences in prison, but now they will be spending LIFE with Jesus. It is hard to put words into what happened but it was a night of UNITY, PRAISE and SALVATION! We will never be the same! God is bringing revival to prisons! Jesus is doing a NEW THING.”
