I could write a book about this. Oh yeah!! I am.
After giving my life to Jesus in 1983 I struggled in and out of the church and faith for 39 years. I had the desire and tried to always change but because of childhood trauma and issues I always failed and returned to my old behaviors and addictions.
In 2006 I found AA and learned how to be sober but sober was never enough for me. I went through 13 years of one on one mentorship and healing to finally surrender to my calling and purpose.
Today after learning what that is I am now living in Thailand bringing freedom and healing to the Thai people and people all over the world. I learned that what I had been given is a gift I can give away.
So I created Gates of Freedom first for the Thai people and after seeing the program I realized that I can provide this to countless others all over the world for a small cost in comparison to what others are charging.
This decision has now led me to provide these programs to be able to continue my ministry work here in Thailand without being a burden to others in asking for support or sponsorship.
We have not yet gained enough clients to do that but I believe that God is exceedingly able to provide the clients to support our work.
