My early life was spent about as other worldly ones, except I started drinking at an early age and became a slave to booze for many miserable years. I even spent a couple of years on a prison farm because of it. I lost everything a man holds dear: my health, my family, my home, my little business, my ability to hold a job, my dignity ~~~ everything!

Then, while living in the charity of our St. Paul city mission, it happened overnight. Suddenly my whole life was changed. I awoke that morning, and all of that awful craving was gone ~~~ as though I had never drank or smoked at all. I never understood why it was taken from me in just that way. But I am grateful.

I saw that God had a special work for me. For the next year I worked in the mission office and was led into this home missionary work. Through many years I have been enabled to reach many needy ones all over the country with God's word. I am sure that God used this work in His own way to bless others as it pleased Him. All is of God. Each is led by God to reach others for Christ in His right way. He leads us to the right ones and gives us the right things to say.

How much we need God's truth now in these so complex, evil, end times! Our nation is flooded with false cult preachers and literature; while much of God's work is suffering for lack of support. Many Christians have become so worldly now that they have become blinded, and don't know the true from the false, and are supporting the devil's work. How sad it all is!

Our blessed America has become one of the world's most needy mission fields -- perhaps the greatest.
