I was born and raised on a small Island off the East Coast of Newfoundland, Canada, known as Flat Island.
Flat Island only had a population of approx. 80 people and fishing was the main means of making a living.
There was a one room school there, with K.G. to grade 9, I only got as far as the 7th grade officially, and at the age of 12, due to the lack of qualified teachers in small isolated communities, I quit school and went fishing with my father . I fished for ten years before leaving the Island and going to a town on the mainland, where I eventually took a carpentry course in which God greatly blessed me, and led me to greater things in regards to a better living , even leading me to my own construction company , and later to several supervisor positions , in different types of construction including the job from which I retired ,after over seventeen years service with the Provincial Government.
It was while I was still working with the Provincial Government, that God gave me dreams and revelations starting in 1995, that hence came my calling, and the writing of this book.
I was not called to preach or teach the word as a Pastor or Teacher, but to remind people and the Churches what they were doing wrong. I felt like Moses, when God called him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt, and said, Lord , surely you don't want me to do this, I have very little education and I can't even Speak well, as quick as a wink a voice from within said, neither could Moses
I knew then that this was the voice of God speaking to me, and I had to obey His call , and keep my promise to him, and was reminded that God don't call the qualified , but qualifies the called .
