"The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much." James 5:16
David is a sidewalk counselor and his family is a Family on a Mission, ministering at many places, including with Cities4Life at Charlotte abortion centers.
In thid first photo David is training his son, in the Hebrew way to train up children. His son is watching his father share with an abortion-determined father in his car. He is listening to his earthly father's wise words and learning how to apply the Biblical knowledge that is already being taught at home.
I was able to get this man, "D", to stop and talk. Since his ex-girlfriend was already in the back and he had no way of contacting her to help her to choose Life, I briefly shared the Gospel with him, handed him the pre-abortion packet and a Gospel tract. I, then, called David over to pray over him, as David was the closest man in the proximity Just as the other men in this ministry, David does a beautiful job of incorporating the Gospel and other Biblical truths into a prayer over this man.
Does this ministry tug at your heart? Do you desire to do something that could change the world or save a life, but feel as though you're not the "spiritual giant" you want to be?
God has already equipped you with his Holy Spirit and His Word. While our human words might be less than desirable or completely inadequate at times, the Lord uses HIS people for HIS purposes!
