S5 Ep. 2 | To Philemon
“…welcome him as you would welcome me.”
One man’s call to minister to youth as they await sentencing.
6ABC News calls him a "Hometown Hero" but the young people he works with refer to him as Doc. Meet Pastor Damone Jones Sr., the Senior Pastor of Bible Way Baptist Church and Founder of the Brothahood Foundation, an organization that mentors young people detained in Philadelphia's jails.
With almost 40 years into his ministry work serving young people in the Philadelphia penal system, Pastor Jones has found a way to both uplift and learn from the young people about the needs of the community. One of the guiding scriptures of his work comes from the book of Philemon in the Bible which is the inspiration for today's title.
Hear the wise words of Pastor Jones as he speaks on his approach to advocating for young people often forgotten about and how this advocacy can look different for everyone. You'll hear him share that the importance is to know the One who's called to the work and to lean into that calling. Anyone looking to connect to his ministry in West Philadelphia you can visit his website for more information.
Philemon 1:17-18
17 So if you consider me a partner, welcome him as you would welcome me. 18 If he has done you any wrong or owes you anything, charge it to me.
