A FAITH THAT FORCED MY FOOTSTEPS

Gerald Durley

The Review of Faith & International Affairs, 2012, vol. 10, issue 1, 51-52

Abstract: The author reluctantly joined the Peace Corps in 1964, after hearing Samuel Dewitt Proctor promote the program. His faith in God was restored and deepened during his Peace Corps service, and the experience motivated him to contribute to community initiatives and to teach others the significance and importance of volunteering. The author credits the leadership and wisdom of others, including Proctor, in shaping his life path. As an African American who grew up under segregation, he is grateful that the Peace Corps opened up avenues of opportunities along which thousands of African Americans could walk.
