Unseen Path
Linda H. Williams, Chief Executive Officer of With Love from Jesus Ministries (WLFJ), shares true stories of God's blessings in her life through seemingly impossible circumstances. As you follow Linda's journey to WLFJ, which includes more than twenty-five years of prison ministry and opening her home to women and their children, you will experience real examples of God's ability to redeem any situation. See how God turns brokenness into surrender and heartache into healing as He equips those He calls into His service. When Linda started on her journey, she had no idea that she would one day "storm the gates of hell using bags of food," but she chose to walk in faith, trusting her Guide to lead her down the path she could not see.

Linda H. Williams is executive director of With Love From Jesus, a ministry in south Raleigh, North Carolina, that provides, food, household items, clothing, furniture and appliance to all who come, along with a presentation of the gospel.
This memoir reveals the remarkable back story and demonstrates how much someone who is truly obedient to God can do. The purpose of the ministry is not to provide for people in need, Williams writes, although that happens. It's not even to lead people to faith in Christ, although that happens, too. The primary purpose is to demonstrate the unity of the body of Christ.
As someone who has volunteered a few times at With Love From Jesus, I can testify that this value is always emphasized during the team meeting and prayer time before the honored guests -- the term WLFJ uses -- arrive. It is lived out as well. On a particular day, there might be a large crew of volunteers from one church. But all serve together. All are valued, as are the honored guests.
One Saturday, I spoke with an honored guest who was looking for a portable heater -- kerosene or propane -- for her home, which was a tent. I told her I didn't think we had one. She was understandably persistent. Central North Carolina is far from the frozen tundra, but it can get chily at night. It was suggested that I check with the women in the sorting area, someone named Linda and someone whose name I forget, in case one had come in. (We didn't find one, but it turned out the woman sitting across from the woman who needed a heater for her tent had a heater but no tent.) I only found out later that the "Linda" whom I consulted in the back was Linda H. Williams, quietly serving in the background. She did nothing to call attention to herself. She hadn't spoken at the team meeting. I don't know if she was even there.
