A 23-year-old St. Louis man is gaining attention for obeying what he says was instructions from God to clean up Ferguson.

Terrance Williams aspires to become a police officer.  He said he was watching the riots on television and praying about the situation.  Heartbroken, he cried out to God asking what he could do about it.

“My heart just began to cry out to God, and I just asked Him, ‘What can I do? What can Terrance do to go out there and make a difference?’” he told the Daily Signal. “Later that night, the Lord just put it on my heart, ‘Son, I want you to go out there and I want you to clean up.’”

“Originally, I was going to start at 9 o’clock and it hit 6:30, and my heart just began to [seem to say], ‘Get up! Get up! Get up!’” he explained. “And I got up at 6:30, and I went to the store. I bought some bags and a pair of gloves, and I just put my green boots to the ground and just began to walk and do what God put on my heart to do.”

Williams said that he’s been out working on the streets to clean up and people have been walking up to volunteer to join the effort.  People from all walks of life have joined together to bring hope out of the hate.

“It’s not just about white or black,” Williams stated. “It’s about all walks of life. I met people who wanted to shake my hand just to say thank you for cleaning up. I’ve met business owners that expressed to me how they felt… It’s just been an awesome experience and it’s just been amazing.”

Williams says at the end, all he cares about is whether or not what he is doing pleases the Lord.
