HOW TO CONQUER YOUR CITY: block by block (using spiritual warfare TACTICS)
As part of my ongoing documentation of the structure that makes up daily life in our city, I recently had the opportunity to attend a training institute hosted by Mighty Men Ministries, Inc. that focused on reclaiming cities (starting with Syracuse) by teaching spiritual warfare principles.
Mighty Men Ministries, Inc. was conceived over a 10-year period by ordained elder Reginald Holman (pictured above). Holman developed Mighty Men as a way to provide men with real alternatives and solutions to complex issues through the gospel of Jesus Christ, as well as discover their true identity, understand their true origin and realize their destiny. One of those approaches includes a street ministry.
When men become accountable, Holman says, the community changes.
The Mighty Men motto is "Seeing the invisible; Doing the impossible."
Photographs from this series were taken during several weeks during their Training Institute, which was held at Syracuse's Salvation Army Citadel for eight weeks during February and March.
