Risking his life for eighteen years as a firefighter, Ronnie Edwards has prayed at every emergency scene. His actions have earned him the title of the “Praying Fireman” and those he works alongside admire and support his work ethic and his noble prayer habit. This habit of prayer has landed him in jail for 30 days.
The new mayor of DeQuincy, Lawana Jones is the “first democratic mayor in its history, an African American”, is an atheist, and has taken exception to Edwards prayer life. When she learned of Edwards praying at fires, she decided to do something about it. Sending a memo to all city employees, she told them that “any expression of personal religious belief while on duty was a violation of their contract with the city.”
Ronnie Edwards chose to keep up his prayer vigil as he believes that he must do what Jesus asks of him and not cave to the whims of an atheist mayor.

Seeing as the mayor of DeQuincy Louisiana is Lawrence Henagan, a middle aged bald white guy, and NOT Lawana Jones, an atheist African American, this story is deemed not true. http://www.dequincy.org/app-team/firstname-lastname #DoNotBelieveEverythingYouReadOnTheInternet
This woman need to be afraid of what God The Almighty will do to her. She might be in power now but she will account to God of the wrong things she’ve done to other people here on earth.
My husband wants to know when Mayors got that kind of power. Doesn’t believe this story!
