Recently I was asked to speak to some businessmen about the process that led me from Morley Properties to founding Man in the Mirror. Since men regularly ask me, I thought it would be good to publish the process I went through. As it happens, I kept a written journal of my transition from business to ministry. Here is my story taken from those entries. To get the whole picture, let me take you back to Christmas 1984. For five years I had been leading a group I started after a “small” racial disturbance here in Orlando made national news. We called ourselves The Black/White Fellowship. Yet, since I had become a Christian in 1973, my overarching passion had been taking men to lunch and sharing Christ, then getting them Over Christmas I prayed for God to use me in a new ministry opportunity which would capitalize on the secular success I had enjoyed. After two weeks of prayer the only leading I received was the word "evangelism."
