Question
okay i don't know if this is a good question or not but I've been wondering it for a week and been searching up on it but i haven't gotten a good answer, I'm asking you this because read that you  served in the military. Well, one of my really close friends is the USMC and is going to Korea pretty soon, i want to give him something that he can take with him; i finally found this pendant, it is a ST.michael's pendant but it also has the USMC on there... i know that baptist don't believe much in praying to anyone else except God, and i strongly know that he listens to us when we do pray & he answers our prayers, but i just wanted to know if it would be and okay gift to sent to him?

Answer
Hi Hannah,

This question has only just reached me, so aplogies to you. Saint Micahel, is the Arch Angel and sits on the right hand of God, he is as close to Him as you can get. I do not see any problem giving your friend this pendant at all, nor will the Lord Himself.
I have no doubt that if you ask Him in your prayers He will give you the same answer.I am sure this pendant will keep your friend safe, because no doubt you will pray for him also, with the Lord and Saint Michael with him, he could not be more protected or comforted.

I hope this helps

Regards and God Bless

Expertise

I can answer most questions on the subject of the Baptist/Christian faith. I am an active member of a Baptist Church Fellowship. I study the Bible and the Scriptures every day and have no problem talking to people about this. I am more than happy to answer the Lord's calling and help and support all people that are in need. I believe that is now my role in life.

Experience

Some times people go the wrong way in life because they have been let down by those that are close to them. It is all about trust, compassion and support. I carry out a lot of outreach work, so I know how important these things are to be able to reach people. I have worked with drug addicts and the homeless, as well as young people who have lost their way in life or are in prison.

Organizations
Baptist Fellowship.

Publications
My articles and letters have appeared many times in the local paper.

Education/Credentials
I am am a Deacon and secretary of my church, and also spend lots of time now also ministering to people in old folks homes as well as other outreach work.

Awards and Honors
I have won a National award for working with and supporting sick people.

Past/Present Clients
I do not call them clients, they are people in need of the love of God and of people. I have mentored many young people, including those that are in our local prison, to hopefully live an honest and Christian life.
