The Rev. Elijah Adedire of Markham is among a group that gathers mornings at the Cook County Courthouse in Markham to pray for peope entering and ask them to accept Christ.
Volunteer Oluyemisi Ajasa prays for a man arriving Thursday at the Cook County Courthouse in Markham.
Pastor Elijah Adedire waits outside of Markham Courthouse Thursday, hoping to offer help and to convert people heading into court. “Those that do not accept , we still continue to pray for them,” said Ajasa. “This is the most rewarding work that I do.” There is a lot of drama, said Patricia Mitchell of Matteson, who attends services at South Suburban Church of God. She laughed as she remembered some of the more salacious stories she’d heard.“Some people don’t have a dilemma. They just want God to direct their path,” Mitchell said.
