In Pursuit of Destiny - Biography of Wayman Mitchell

Introduction

 

INTRODUCTION In the spring of 1995 I happened to be in San Antonio, Texas. Richard Rubi had invited Pastor Wayman Mitchell to address a discipleship class for men.

During the first session on prayer, Pastor Mitchell remarked that no matter where he had lived he always had found a place to pray. "In one house it was so crowded that I prayed in an outside shed. It was hot enough to fry a lizard in there."

The description struck me with such force that, in afterthought, I realized that the treasures of wisdom and experience in Pastor Mitchell should be captured and, if possible, passed on to those who Inight not he so fortunate as to meet him personally.

Shortly thereafter I wrote to him and phrased the letter thus:

'I feel the Lord is leading me to write your life-story, if I don't hear from you within a month, I'll assume that you have no objections.'

Silence reigned, and from it came this present volume "In Pursuit of Destiny."

Recently I read this quotation from a leadership book entitled 'A Vessel of Honor':

"Most vessels of honor are known only to a small company of their peers. Always pouring out and then seeking to be refilled only to pour out again, vessels of honor are a true blessing. The source of their greatness and the secret of their victory lies in their commitment to go to God first and then to the people. They are thirst quenchingly special."

In my opinion this description well fits Wayman Mitchell. What the definition fails to cover, I trust the following pages will supply. As you read on you will doubtless arrive at a similar conclusion to my own that, in Wayman Mitchell, God has seen fit to raise up a truly remarkable man.
