I grew up in a small town outside of Washington DC. I joined the Navy at 17 after graduating from high school. During my three tours in Vietnam, I saw some horrible things that changed my life. (see details in the book) I completed my service in the Navy returning to the USA when I was 22 years old. I came to the realization that being Christian was not just going to church, it is a lifestyle. I wanted to live this lifestyle. I read where Jesus said; Do not to Lay up for ourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal, but lay up for ourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust can corrupt, and where thieves do not break through or steal, for where our treasure is, there will our heart be also.  I wanted to lay up treasures in heaven, so I sold all that I had moved to Chicago and began serving the Lord in a youth mission. I continued to serve the Lord for the next 17 years in South America and Spain. You will find many events both good and bad, difficult, and joyful times in this book. After returning to the States from South America, I saw the great spiritual need we have here in the USA. My new vision is to reach the USA with the living Gospel, the good news that Jesus can take our sins then guide our daily lives if we let Him. Then He will allow us to live with Him in eternity. I started offering to assist congregations to become motivated and mobilized to perform the task of sharing their faith in Jesus the Christ. Knowing this life is short. I have pledged to give my life to assist and train others in reaping God's harvest of souls, as He commanded us to do in Mark 16:15 and Matthew 9:37-38. My hope is you too will be inspired to follow some of the examples of how to share the Gospel that is written in this book. Contact me if you or your church would like to know more. Enjoy 383 pages

I would like to clarify who I am. I have made many mistakes during my lifetime. I have not become a perfect person since following Jesus, but I have become a student of God's Word, and a son of the living God because of what Jesus did. I have the desire and vision to become more like Jesus. I am seeking to learn to be as loving and kind as He. No one has completely become like Jesus in this world. We are all on the journey seeking to live His perfection. I know we are in a war, the spiritual war that is talked about in Ephesians 6:12. We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Jesus’s Holy Spirit has helped me through battles of hate, lust, lying, stealing, cheating, deceit, and drugs. His love has never failed me. He stands with me no matter what. I can joyfully say that He has given me the Grace to overcome many sins. Somehow, He has seen fit to use me to share the Gospel with many. Throughout my life, I have shared the Gospel with many people. If I took a rough estimate, I believe it would average to 2 people a day for the 48 years I have been serving Him. If I calculate that, it would come to 35,040 people and multiplied by an average of 6 brothers and sisters sharing with me this number could be multiplied by 6. These are people who we shared the Gospel face to face. The reason I am sharing this is not to boast but to bring to your attention that if we are faithful to share the Gospel our influence for the Kingdom of God adds up. If we train others to share the Gospel our influence in this world multiplies. He is faithful to use our lives, even if we are not perfect. Jesus is perfect and that's what counts. I acknowledge that Jesus Created the world with His Father. He came to be the Savior of the world and is the King of Kings. He has all authority in heaven and on earth. I need Him. I have submitted to His Lordship over my life. I understand that eternal life "the entrance into Heaven" is a free gift. When Jesus died on the cross, He removed all sin. Every human being has a choice to believe in what He has done and allow Him to take away their sins or not believe and stand before God at judgment without the cleansing blood of Jesus the Christ. It's a choice. It's your choice. When someone becomes a believer, they need constant cleansing from defilement contracted in this pilgrim walk through this fallen world. Titus 3:5 tells us; not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit. We all need this washing of our souls and renewing of the Holy Spirit daily to keep an open connection with God through His Holy Spirit. Heaven is a non-returnable gift when someone “truly” receives Jesus as their Savior. The Holy Spirit's cleansing allows us to live in a pleasing way in our Father's eyes while we walk in this world. It also allows us to be used on earth to lift His Glory because others can see Him in us. His Holy Spirit is able to shine through us. From the beginning of the world, mankind was unable to understand what God wanted with His creation, so, Jesus came to earth in a human form. Jesus was totally God and totally man when he walked on this earth. He showed us how God wants humans to live then made a way for us to walk with God on earth by taking all sins on the cross fulfilling the prophecy of Psalms 22, which had been written about 1000 years prior to His birth. He offers to take anyone's sins, but He has given every human being the choice to humble ourselves and ask Jesus to take our sins. “Something for you to think about, If someone is not happily loving Jesus here on earth, they will not be happy living with Him for eternity”. God does not send anyone to Hell, going to Hell is a choice. This is chosen by receiving or rejecting God's gift given through Jesus.

I have been able to live in many countries. I learned something from everywhere I have lived. I would like to share what I have seen, heard, and felt in these lands. You will find my contact information in the book. 

Long live love.
