Hear A Pastor's Heart Broken For Children of Selma, Alabama

"We were graduating young men that would rather die than live...

Selma is another example of failed policies.  So much money has been poured in District 7 from the Federal Government, yet there is horrendous poverty.  The Failure of all the systems specially the school system should drive us to listen well to someone who knows the fabric of this District and who knows what's needed to fix it.  It would be worth it for Voters on Nov 5 to give David Perry a chance to make changes vs the status quo.  Parents  full of pressure just to provide for their families are not to blame...the Ed System they trusted needs a turning over and David Perry can help lead the way.  His heart and his experience will lead them well.  Alabama's Preamble reminds us to seek guidance from Almighty God...it is time.

 Excerpts from Pastor David Perry's speech Oct. 25, 2024 in the "Defend Our Republic" Forum:
I said, "Lord, why did we have so much murder, so much lawlessness?" He said,
"The root is the public school system." He said, "How can you have a person's
mind for 12 years and turn out a murderer?"
And then he gave me a comparison because I'm a vet. After I left the University of
West Alabama in 1982, I joined the military, and Uncle Sam turned me into a nuclear
programmer in 12 weeks.
And we can't turn out better thinkers in 12 years?
We were graduating young men that would rather die than live.
We graduated young girls that would rather just sell their bodies than to go to
college. 

Failed Leadership in the School System

The House of Prayer was started in actually 2008. God gave me a prompting
that we need to build in downtown to try to battle this poverty here in district 7,
which is horrendous. Horrendous poverty... I've seen it. I've been in it. I have rescued
babies that Momma was putting-- I don't know how long they've been putting them to
sleep because they had ADHD.
I have helped families get disability from children and they said, had demons,
but they didn't.
So everything is kind of crazy when you look at what's going on in our family and
school system.

We should not be eulogizing young men and young women
before they are 24 ...I believe that the school
system need to be changed. The boys alone, Dallas County has two school boards,
one of the poorest counties in Alabama. We got a city school board and a county
school board, doesn't make any sense. So when now I've gotten these records, I started
traveling in and staying out from top to bottom to find out who's working, and
what's working and what's not. But everywhere you have Christian names, and you have
Christians on those school boards from North Alabama down to the South, where you
have conservative school boards, those districts do not fail as bad, at all.
And I wonder why that's a little, little deep.

And it's because if you have the
right leadership, Jesus said, when the righteous rule, the land shall flourish.
But if the righteous is not ruling, and the wicked is flourishing, that means that
we are letting the wrong people in.

The Money

I am a straight soul winner for Jesus.  I work in the streets and this ministry is designed
to save souls.  And we have some good people in this church that stay in the trenches.
Always trying to win souls and this because that's the only way.  That if you want to really change the system is to change the heart. Now I did some research because they didn't actually take prayer
out of school.  Satan had a strategy.  That you as a grown Christian couldn't do it.
But what we did is fail in training our Christian children how to lead under peer
pressure. They can start bible study groups in high school because I I got some
kids that doing it. They can start prayer groups in high school. It's not illegal.
They just have to be taught. So the discipleship of Jesus Christ-- and this is my
battle for my ministry-- is Acts 13 by the day...

We have Providence School District in Huntsville, Alabama has had to start special schools,
special classes just for 80 HD autistic kids.  CVS runs out of Adderall every month,
right here in Selma. In Dallas County, Madison County, they running out of
Adderall, because we have a crisis of young kids right now in elementary school that has
these psychological disorders that I've called the money presence and it comes from a
lot of pharmaceuticals that they give these kids and I believe that it needs to
change. Now Alabama is behind and until we get to the point to where we're actually
doing better in our school system by training our kids according to their skill set
and not according to that government guideline.
​
They need to be told how they're developed by God.  God said he
made us And he told us to make disciples.  So every disciple was different Moses
was different than David.  God used them all.  So we don't have to be the same for
God to use us.  We just have to have the same message and my message is the same.
Jesus Christ is the answer right here in Selma.

We Have a Crisis of Young Kids in Elementary School That Have Psychological Disorders...

The Bible is the answer Nothing missing nothing broken. He's made us whole if we if
we just follow what he says. There is no power stronger than Christianity.
Not one. Jesus said in Luke 10 19, "I give you power over all the power in you."
While we living in the feet of Jesus, they gave us such power. ...
But anyway, God saved me and set me free. I wasn't supposed to be out.
State of Alabama gave me two life sentences in 48 years.
I stayed on parole 24 years before I got a pardon now fully pardon, now both State and Feds. 
Because I had 21 counts with the Feds.   They gave me three years before the state of Alabama got me.
But the redeeming power of Jesus Christ can change the heart because you also
looking at someone that was in the nation of Islam...

I was the first little black kid in the south side of promenade to hit you upside
of the head.  Buckwheat, and my dad said, "You can't fight." I said, "Why?" He said,
"You got to represent God." I said, "God didn't represent me."
Dad slapped me upside the head- "And do what I said, you know what I'm saying!

But because I got picked on, I felt hatred and until Jesus changed my heart.
And watch this now it was a white teacher Miss Gage, that changed that little heart.
Because I hated, I hated I hate the white people for at least three four years after that.
And she said come into the front of the class.  And she said look how they declare
she said they look funny, don't you? So yeah, they do. Excuse me, here ain't never
been around a lot of white people because I went to the town of Union. All black
school that was actually started in about this church.

And this is the thing, a lot of people don't know is that, I tell a lot of black pastors, I said, man the
private school was the black church.
That's how we educated our kids. That's why I got my first lessons from is in the
church.   Sunday morning a b c d e f g before they gave you John 3: 16.  So
education has always been in God's power with us and it's time for this system here in
Alabama to change, especially in District 5.  We got too many high schools that
are failing.  And that's because you cannot do this education thing with grants and
government funding. 

It's going to take economic empowerment throughout District 7 for
these schools to come up. And for this money to flow in the right way, everybody's
saying lottery, lottery ... But it ain't the answer. The answer is, get rid of these sorry teachers.
And I'm calling sorry, you can quote me on that. Some of them are sorry. They don't
teach. Right now we have vocation schools that are being babysitted by bus drivers
because they don't have enough skilled technicians to teach these kids. So they just
sit there on their phone in vocation. Well, what's wrong with District 5 having a
vocational high school? You already kicked them out.
Tomorrow, Do you mind if I tell your story (asks a young man at back of church).  He's 16
Got a five -month -old baby That is Johnny in the city of Selma has kicked him out
the school system.  But he's in the GV class.  I won't let him go ... I don't want to see him fail.
And that's what we have to do. As Christians, that's what we have to do.
As citizens of this great United States, we can't let them fall through the cracks.

And it's because they care more about the paper than they do about the children.
Now, we know that the international paper workers make this money. They work about a
hundred days a year, make about $80 ,000 a year working a hundred days a year.
An educator can't get close to that with your children.
So how you gonna have qualified teachers where you have people that make paper,
make more money than the ones that teach math?
It doesn't make any sense to me. That's why I got in the race. Because we can
change it. We really can change it. I asked the pastors in this city.
We have a unit meeting, and we found out that they were
sending almost $10 million a year out of this County and foreign missions.
And we have the poorest county.
You said money to Haiti, Nicaragua.  All overseas everywhere.
And you got poverty all around you that you can solve. And I asked them to do
this. I want all of them to put one million in after school programs and missions.
And you can change a whole lot of lives, you can win a whole lot of souls
with just pinpoint power of Jesus Christ.
Because when He died on that cross, that was God's answer to every problem we're
facing right now.
If we pray, he'll give us an answer. 

The Core Curriculum Is Wrong And Why Elect People That Have Not Gone To Fight For You and Blames The Parents?

And if we stick together, he said,
where there's unity, there's strength. And if we have one mind,
one accord, we can get some things done. Please help me change this. Vote for me
for District 5. If you know anybody in District 5, tell them to vote for
David Perry. I got a big mouth and I fight.
I do, I don't hold back. I believe that Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party,
is the worst thing that ever hit our nation. And their policies are
going to kill us even more.

We can't stand for Satan to sit in that seat. Even Jesus said this in Revelation.
He said, "I know what satan's seat he is in one of
his own churches."
So if Satan was sitting in the church, what do you think he's doing in the government?
Jesus said that in Revelation ...
I don't know where Satan seat is... but they giving out free condom, you
can't pray.
And what he motivated young boys in girls, and girls in boys, because you can't
pray and call the Bible Scriptures.  That there is a lot. What they gonna do?
If they lock us up, they lock us up. But it's time to protest it, stand strong.
It doesn't matter what they do to you. John the Baptist was killed on what he
believed in, Paul, Peter. What are we afraid of? If they do it,
if they kill us, we get promoted.  That's a promotion. So let's do what we got to do to win this.
Let's unify together. Support one another. We may not agree on everything, but I know this, that
that Core Curriculum is wrong. I know this, that the Curriculum in Alabama is wrong. And
that if we pull together right now, we can change this. We can change district 5.
District 5 is one of the worst districts in Alabama.

Why would you keep elected people that have not gone fight for you and blame the parents?
They blame the parents and most of the parents in district 5 have an hour or two
hour commute a day just to work. Most of them don't even work local.
They have to drive. When the time to get home, they don't have any quality times
to spend with their children.
Grandmother tired, got diabetes, great dad on dialysis, brother in prison,
daddy gone.
​We have no Boys and Girls Club come here in Selma. We have no Community Service
active after school, and throughout District 5.  And and we still put the
same people. Should not be like this. I'm sorry. I'm just
mad now. I'm serious. I'm mad, but I ain't gonna sin.

But we can change this.
And we just band together and believe in the power that He's my everything.
Excuse me, but Jesus is everything to me. Everything to me,
me and Dr. Warren Herron, who was a part of the Limestone Baptist Association,
we ran that GED program for Calhoun College at Limestone Prison for six years.
We did have that GED program because you can teach them that God has a plan for
their life, and they're not just here randomly...

​We may not agree on everything, but I know this, that
that Core Curriculum is wrong. I know this, that the Curriculum in Alabama is wrong. And
that if we pull together right now, we can change this. We can change district 5.
District 5 is one of the worst districts in Alabama.

Why would you keep elected people that have not gone fight for you and blame the parents?
They blame the parents and most of the parents in district 5 have an hour or two
