The Oklahoma pastor recounted an incredible encounter he had with one inmate who got saved at Victory Christian Center when his father was a pastor.   

"He said, 'I got saved at your church when your dad was the pastor in the '90s' and he said, 'I was part of the choir and I sang in the worship (team).' And then he said, 'I made some really bad choices and...I got locked up in the year 2000.'"

Daugherty said his mind immediately began to race trying to figure out, "What did he do? What is going on here?"

But then the Lord spoke to him and said, "Paul I'm less concerned about this man's past and I'm more concerned about his future."

"I just looked at him and I said, 'Sir, I don't know what you did, but I just want you to know God loves you and we love you." 

The inmate told Daugherty he thought he would never see the church he once called his home church, ever again. 

He explained that the first person to visit him in prison, was Paul's father, Billy Joe, before he died from cancer. "He told me that he loved me and forgave me and that God forgave me," the inmate told Daugherty, adding he thought he would never see anybody from that church again. 

"He said, 'Here you are...the son of my pastor that saved me, [now] ministering in my prison,'" Daugherty recalled of the conversation. 

"I'm getting teary-eyed like, 'man, God, what a story grace.'"

Daugherty adds that there are many stories of grace that are waiting to be told and there are more people hungry to hear the truth of the Gospel. 

"I think people are really waking up to the reality that our world and everything in our world is so, it's so broken," he explained. "It's so broken...and there's just so much shallowness."

Daugherty says people are being consumed by social media and the idea of false connection, while at the same time being drawn to pornography, drugs, and alcohol to quell feelings of anxiety. 

He believes many people are finally waking up and wanting "something that's real."

"Jesus is that answer," he said. "I do think there is this awakening of [people saying] 'Man, I want Jesus. Jesus is the only thing that is going to change my life and heal my heart and bring me peace.'"

Victory Christian Center's initial, huge prison outreach is just the beginning of reaching the lost who are locked up. 

"We've already lined up the prisons for the fall and the winter," he told CBN News. "Prisons started calling that they want [us] to come."

Daugherty says he is looking forward to this new endeavor. 

"Praise God. Let's keep doing this," he expressed.
