Evangelist Becomes An Alcoholic, Cross Dressing, Prostitute In Order To "Become All Things To All People", That He Might Save Some.
Moscow, Russia
"I finally feel that I have laid it all down for the sake of Him Who called me. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some, just like the Scriptures tell us. Right now, that means becoming an alcoholic, cross dressing, prostitute. I'm going to move on to recreational drugs next, but I'm trying to ease into it."
Saved at the age of 25, now after 35 years on the "straight-and-narrow", Charles Davis realized that there was an unreached world, often overlooked. Moving from his home in California, he has left his old life behind--as he explained--including his wife and children (Mark 10:29), and for the last two years he has dived headlong into a totally new life, in order to save souls.
"I saw an unreached world, and this was my way in. I must admit, it's harder than I was expecting to leave my old life behind, for the sake of the lost. There are days I wake up in my own vomit, laying beside a trash can and I really wonder, 'God, is this what you really want from me?'. Other days when I'm prostituting, in all kinds of sexual promiscuous relationships, I have to constantly remind myself that I'm doing it for a good cause. These are my people, and they need love too. They need to see the love of God, and how will they know if someone doesn't come to them on their level, and meet them where they are at? These Johns need saving, and I'm their man; or woman, or whatever. It's a case where the ends definitely justifies the means. I just say, 'Here I am, send me'. I remember that Jesus was a friend of sinners."
As we were wrapping things up, Charles tried to stand, but fell over and hit his head on a table, knocking himself out. We stayed until the ambulance arrived, where we overheard Charles witness to the EMTs in a drunken slur, "Do you know Jesus?".
