To be thrown in jail so someone can be converted doesn't sound like an experience too many of us would volunteer for. Paul and Silas didn't volunteer, either, but when they were beaten and thrown in prison their reaction to their treatment, and then God's miraculous intervention, brought the jailer and his family to Christ. The jailer's conversion is a great conversion story because of what led up to it, how it actually happened, and how quickly his heart was changed.
