Pastor Offers Sex Offenders A ‘Miracle’: A New Start

Posted by Kendall Harmon

[Dick] Witherow is a tall, spare man, 76 years old, a former private detective.

Shortly after he entered the ministry some 30 years ago, he began working in prisons, holding prayer services and doing addiction counseling.

Then, about a decade ago, he began focusing on sex offenders. After some horrific sex crimes involving children, Florida became one of the first states to pass laws restricting where sex offenders could live after they're released from prison — effectively banning them from some communities.

Take the time to listen to it all (a little over 7 1/2 minutes). I sometimes ask myself if Jesus were to come to earth now as opposed to when he did, where would we find him. My answer--doing something like this--KSH.

My sentiments exactly. The Lord goes where nobody else wants to go.
