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.

TERMINATE THE$#%&!@*WHO DID THIS!!!
“Refusal to obey a city officials order” is a crime now?
does it seem like these things never happened before eight years ago, and the last few years it has got worse very fast. look at all the business and people that are being forced to bow done to the Muslim faith, and allowing Muslin to have prayer brakes, you do not hear any complaints about that, This is a Christian Nation founded on Christian beliefs, that is being destroyed. and she is only helping that go on. people in the community should stand up for this man and get her kicked out of office,
May God bless him. And God reveal Himself to her in a mighty way.
Had they been Moslem, nothing would have been said.. Time to start hauling those persecuting Christians to court.
They should stand down.
What???
The city must be going to hell in a hand basket if there are enough idiots to vote this mayor in. Mayor- its FREEDOM OF RELIGION- NOT FROM IT. Get professional help.
Bit Muslims are allowed to pray anytime, anywhere – welcome to obama’s new America….. pathetic. smh
WHAT A LOAD OF B******T!
