In
March of 1997, my
wife and I along with our 3-month old daughter found ourselves sitting
in a prophecy seminar very similar to the "Revelation Promises Hope"
Seminars. At that time we were just at the brink of separation in our
marriage, our lives were miserably depressing, and our path in life was
a sure road to destruction. You see, the Bible says that without God there
is no peace or quietness or assurance. I was busy seeking God in all the
wrong places.
For the past five years, I had been studying very heavily many of the world religions-Taoism, Voodoo, Native American Spiritualism or Wicca, and Buddhism. After this search, which had begun in my college dorm room, sparked by a dead-end road of wild drug parties, deeply philosophical music, poetry, and basically insanity, I decided to settle down a bit (we got married) and become a Zen Buddhist.
At the time my wife and I decided to attend the Bible Prophecy Seminars, I had just moved back in with her upon finding out we were going to have a child. I was living in the woods of the Black Hills of South Dakota in a Volkswagon bus and writing pages and pages of poetry to try to ease the pain I felt inside my aching heart. Life was too much!! Too many unanswered questions, too much greed and wickedness, too much pain for a tender soul like me and I wanted out (but found myself too afraid to end my own life).
I received a flyer for the Seminars from my mother and I figured I could be open minded enough to go see what the Bible says about the end of time. I was not interested in being a Christian. After all, I too had seen the hypocrisy and pomp of the "too holy for you" Christian. But I thought if I just went and sat quietly in the back I could get the information I wanted without becoming a Christian.
Needless to say, the Seminars opened my eyes to the fact that the Bible CAN be understood by the common person like myself. I found that the prophecies of the Bible can be interpreted by the Bible itself rather than by a cornucopia of man's opinions. I found that through my newfound friend, the Bible, I could find answers to life's hard questions. Not only that, but the Bible softened my heart to my Savior Jesus. I realized for the first time that neither Buddha, nor Mohammed, nor Shiva, nor Wakan Tanka could pull me out of the hole I was in (nor did they claim they would). But Jesus could AND HAS!!!
Shortly after this, we were given the opportunity to join up with David Asscherick and a few of my other friends and form the "Revelation Promises Hope" Team. Praise God! How He has given me new life and new purpose to spread the same hope around the world that He introduced me to just a short time ago.
Currently, my wife and I along with our two daughters are travelling full time with the "Revelation Promises Hope" team and loving every minute of it. God will do amazing things with the lives of those who will allow Him to.
