Tears streamed down as I watched and listened to this segment of Governor Huckabee's talk show. I have never watched the show before, but my super-hero (and honored to say friend) Amy "Hope Dealer" Williams was given the opportunity to talk about her work among the gangs of Chicago. There are no lines of people, lines of Christians, no lines of churches with their ministries, no lines of young Bible College students, seminary students, no line of people lining up to do this. I so get Amy's words. "This isn't about they and them. It's we and us. These are our kids!" I encourage you to watch the segment (not long at all, but powerful) and check out Amy's website and ministry (ahopedealer.org). Amy is most certainly in a Wasted Evangelism ministry.
