In 1986, with their 3-year-old son Kramer, they were elected to their first Pastorate. Pastor Ledford recalls, “Those church members voted us in 100%. They needed to have their head examined all 8 of them.” That was just the beginning. Since then, the Ledford’s ministry has developed and expanded in many different ways. Not only have they pastored ever since that November in 1986, but in 1994 they ventured into their first journey behind bars, beginning a jail and prison ministry that continues to grow even to this day. In 2010, a new door opened that allowed them to start ministering to those with addiction problems. This is when they developed Drug aNd Alcohol Rehab or DNA.
DNA has seen several set free from their addiction. It was through their ministry with DNA in county jails in Texas, that they started developing yet a new ministry centering on abused women. You Are a Picker was a catch phrase Pastor Ledford began using when speaking to teen girls for years. His goal was to make them understand just how valuable they were. When speaking in jails the Ledford’s began noticing how this phrase was catching on with the female inmates. Every few weeks when some new inmates would cycle through the ladies would say to Pastor Ledford (Preach) “Hey Preach so-in-so has not heard your picker story tell her your picker story.”
The idea for this book, “You Are a Picker,” was born behind bars in Texas. Our prayer is that as you read this short book you will realize NO MATTER WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH, YOU ARE A PICKER. May God bless and keep you.voir moins
