Shepherd's Crook

Bill Westover faced an unlooked for and unwelcome
ministry. He was not prepared by background, by education
or by previous ministry experience. And yet Christ
called him, confirmed Bill in a tough inner-city ministry.
He was caught between two warring gangs, threatened,
shot at and beaten seriously. Through it all the Holy Spirit
empowered Bill. With the support of Elaine who feared
for her husband, Bill he returned each day to the Bawdy
District to seek to snatch souls from the jaws of Hell.
Walk with Bill on the sidewalks, stepping over the stoned
or drunk, smelling the sour fumes pouring out of the
bars, past the porno ships and the X-rated theaters, dodging
the street walkers on the corners and trying to bring
the light of Christ into very dark lives.
