FAITH & MINISTRY
Lance Wilson is a man of strong and deep faith. As stated, his mother raised the children in a Christian home. He is Christian and unashamed of being a Christian. Many candidates shy away from their faith but he will not. With that being said, he will say he is running for public office and that office being Sheriff of Caldwell County. He is running to lead Caldwell County as the next Sheriff. It has been mentioned by others in the law enforcement field Lance cannot become Sheriff and be a preacher. Lance will take a stand, go into the direction he is being led and prove he can. Lance says we need servants with values and he is willing to accept the challenge. Lance Wilson will not dare force any faith or religious beliefs on anyone and never has, however, just as a leader in the Sheriff’s Office should do by giving credit where credit is due, Lance will do the same with his faith. A smart leader will give credit where credit is due.
Lance is the founder of a ministry called Cops 4 Christ Ministries.
This group was established in 2004-2005 with some deputies and the chaplain getting together for prayer meetings at the Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office. The prayer groups began to increase in size and eventually the meetings involved other agencies. A first annual Cops4Christ Revival was laid on hearts and took place in August 2008. Lance said it would be worth it all if one soul came to know the LORD and guess what, ONE DID. The one soul was a dear sister named Megan Clark, the daughter of the Late Sheriff Gary Clark. (PIC)
This meeting was led by the LORD with different local officers preaching nightly and special singing nightly. (PICS)
