[H. Montague Worthington]

I have gone on many trips to provide ministry to needy young men in Chicago, San Francisco, Port-Au-Prince, Miami, New York City and West Hollywood, and many times I've found that the young men slumped in doorways and alleyways, loitering at bus stops and near park restrooms do indeed need some aid from a sort of "Good Samaritan." But in the spirit of the sermons I've heard for many years at Landover Baptist, I rarely do more than perform a laying on of hands to elicit the Holy Spirit. It can be dangerous to be wandering the rough alleyways, dim streets, and lonely street corners of America's largest cities, but I feel the young men out on the street alone late at night and without a good friend NEED someone like me to provide a warming smile and a friendly shoulder to lean on.

Let me be clear-- I am always careful in these situations to make sure I do not provide any direct or immediate monetary exchange so as to not reward any sloth, greed, envy or avarice in the young man in need of assistance. It is also important to always ask the young man in need of help if they are a police officer, because 1) if you ask, they have to tell you and 2) many men of my age and financial profile have been targeted by corrupt police (some fine officers have been led astray by Democrats and extortionists) for coming to the aid of young men in need. It can sometimes be a filthy and disgusting job to provide comfort in these God-forsaken places, but I feel it is my calling to minister to these young men as they face trying times in their lives.
