Power of Prayer Used to Fight Crime

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A Columbus minister is challenging other local clergy to take action to keep their community streets safe.

Pastor Robert Bell of Victory Delivery Annex Church says he wants to hold a lunchtime prayer vigil at the Statehouse in downtown Columbus at the end of July.

"This is the time we have to stand-up for more than ourselves. We have to stand up for the community, as well," Bell said.

Bell says the unsolved murder of a fellow reverend in Columbus inspired him to take action. Rev. Billy Howard was shot in February while shoveling snow in front of his home.Power of Prayer Used to Fight Crime
