GrandMamma's Prayers

GrandMamma's Prayers' records the godly influences made by a GrandMamma on the life of her Grandson. The book follows the authors' experiences from adolescence through adulthood. Just as life has its ups and downs, some of the events are humorous, while others at times are sad. Yet, the purpose of the book, to testify of the unbending faith in a Saviour that can never fail, remains intact!
The climatical moment comes after a series of trying events, which at first seem unfair. However, we are told in the Word that, " . . . all things work together for the good . . ." (Romans 8:28).
The book emphasizes how each person although called, must first accept this calling (this occurs at the moment of their salvation) before they can be placed within the framework of God's divine plan for their life. Without accepting this free gift, God's plans for our life cannot and will not be enacted.
GrandMamma's Prayers, beautifully portrays the old story and truth, "It's not I but Christ that liveth in me."

James was born the 3rd of 8 children in El Campo, Texas. During his early years, he attended East Gate Baptist Church under the leadership of the late Reverend O. D. Ford. He accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour at the age of 14.
He began his evangelism ministry at 15 years of age. He fondly remembers going into the local jail in Wharton, Texas and asking the deputy if he could share the Gospel with the prisoners. The deputy looked over the desk and kindly said, "Son come back later, the sheriff is out." However, with that simple experience his ministry had begun.
At age 17 James joined the U.S. Navy. In 1978 he took his ministry to the streets. His first 'contact' was with a drunk. James asked him the simple question that has changed countless lives; "Do you know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior?" The elderly man was very kind to this young 19-year-old. He told James words that he still remembers today, "Son I appreciate what you are trying to doing."
James married the woman he affectionately calls his rib, Cecilia Langston in 1979. From their union have sprang forth four girls (Maria, Lorena, Jacel, and Jennifer) and two boys (James Jr. and Cedric).
Although James was given the vision, "Go Ye into all the world and Preach the Gospel," many years earlier, this ministry did not come about until 1998 when the Pilgrim Outreach Ministry was birthed. God has blessed this ministry with a dynamic group of leaders who as well have this same burning desire within them.
Through the power of the Holy Spirit James has seen many folks saved, healed, delivered and baptized in the Holy Spirit. God is truly raising this ministry up to have a worldwide impact.
James is stationed overseas in Italy. He is a commissioned officer in the U.S. Navy.
