Nearly Mugged and Plugged in Philly - City of Brotherly Love? I Think Not!

in blog •  8 years ago 

Philly's crazy. I know a guy from Arkansas who is a big, burly, scary, loud, obnoxious, crazy dude I would never ever even think about messing with, no matter the circumstances. He's a big tough man, so he moved out to Philly. Well, that guy I'm describing has a kind heart and he moved there to start a (Liberty Baptist) Church. He moved his wife and 2 small children to a tough neighborhood where the "thugs" sometimes use his yard to hide bags of drugs. He goes out to politely ask them to move it and stop, so they deny and claim nothing is there. That's when he gets out his trimmer and heads to the front of the yard first. They yell and go move it. It takes someone brave and courageous to willingly go to a place like that. Go visit his Church and tell him I sent you. I haven't seen him in over a year, but you don't have to wait that long.

That's great.. what a good guy to go there and help those people. Moving into an area like that is not easy, fun, or simple.. But what blessings he will get for doing that good work!

He's truly amazing. I don't except some random person to go visit a Church because some other random person mentioned it...but, if you ever do find him, Burton Gates, ask him to tell you his story. I want to praise him and honour him for his story, but I know he's just a messenger for God and an example of God's great grace. ...I don't expect you to ever meet him, but if you do, you will not be disappointed. It's definitely worth a Sunday morning trip.
