I grew up in Northern California, studied and served many years in the medical profession when the Lord called me into the mission field in various parts of the world. Initially it was part time, but finally, He called me into the ministry followed immediately into full time missions in Africa. While living and serving deep in villages, some of which had never seen a white man before, I found people so hungry for the word of God. They would sit for hours and even religious leaders there would follow me. I was repeatedly told that "your messages are so unique and what we need today" and was asked frequently to write them, but I never had time and am not a writer. Then after some time, I was taken hostage where in a tiny cell, tortured and abused to the point of death literally, because "We don't need or want white man's God in our country". I then was inspired to write and the Holy Spirit began pouring out His heart to me and His messages to me written on any scrap of paper I could find, later these were assembled into a few different books and messages. All I can say at this point is that these messages must be on the right track (of course, they were inspired) but the enemy tried so hard to destroy the notes and keep them from getting out to the world and it is only by His grace and mercy that you are able to read this today. Please cherish it and praise the living God for His precious message to you. I have been on national television networks by invitation, to discuss marriage issues. www.Lighthouseofblessedhope.org
