Buying cocaine, preaching Jesus How the 'Undercover Pastor' kept faith in Christ despite darkness, temptation
For over 20 years, Dale Sutherland ministered to youth in Washington, D.C., while leading a double life that led to various brushes with death. As an undercover narcotics officer during the height of the crack cocaine wars in the 1980s and early '90s, he would sometimes pose as a pimp, a drug buyer or someone involved in plotting murder. But despite the darkness, Sutherland never lost faith in God. @ChristianPost_com
