Time to go…
My work was done there and God had prepared my next mission well in advance. Prior to deciding to leave I was made to feel very uncomfortable by a director who showed me some inappropriate things on the internet. I was so upset that once I left that day I called a place that I… Continue reading Time to go…
God sent you here for me.
One day the kid who was writing the book came to me and said, “Ron. I know God sent you hear for me.” It’s funny because weeks prior I had suspected just that.

God has used me to help the children.
This kid could hardly speak English properly let alone write, but let me tell you; his imagination and creativity is unlimited. Soon he was up to about six chapters.

The Next Level
I adamantly believe that trial and tribulations are God’s way of preparing us for the next level in our journey, it really helps to hear it from friends.
