Asking for prayer for a mentor

I don't claim to know Pastor Ted Haggard, but he has been a mentor of mine. I read his book Primary Purpose, and it has influenced the way I pastor and the vision for the mission that I have.

Allegations have come out against him regarding sexual sin and drugs. I would ask you to pray for him and his family. I'm sure that New Life church is also in need of prayer.

Facts will come out about the case I have no doubt, as will a bunch of opinion. I don't envy the road he's walking today, but know that as his brother I need to help bear the burden with him.

Thanks,
--Ben

A friend of mine wrote a very interesting blog about the whole Ted Haggard situation. Rather than plagiarize or quote out of context, here's the URL:
