25+ Years:
Counseling / Rescuing /
Restoring/ Speaking / Writing / Educating / Motivating
( . . . at least trying my best to do something - small part
that it may be . . . )
For all of God's suffering souls - great & small -
both people & animals
"Survival of the Fittest" is not
my God's "Way" - Is it yours?
Millions of children, women, & men live
as slaves under predatory people & political policies.

IT'S NOW YOUR
TURN MY FRIENDS!
(Your turn to sacrifice for those suffering &
in need.)I don't
want your money. I simply pray you will step
forward and do the work that right now I don't have the time
or money to do. After a summer filled with crisis
counseling helping families work through serious
situations, plus numerous animal rescues rehabilitating
wild animals in need, I now must focus on my science
teaching responsibilities.
I'll be teaching 7 classes of
biological sciences for 08-09 at NCS, instead of the
normal 5, plus caring for over 30 rescued wild animals,
so my GSI time is very limited now. Yes you and
your churches actually can provide counseling to over 90% of families
who need it. Also many of you have a burden for
nephesh animals that are suffering and you have
the time to help them. Sacrifice, go for it,
please!
Here in
America we are providentially privileged -
meaning that God has
given many of you opportunities that the majority
of men and women and
children in the world do not have. Why did God allow
such inequality? Is it because you are better and more
worthy?
Nope! It's so that those
of you who serve the Good Shepherd can prove His
character to the world by sacrificially working
to rescue the millions who are stuck in horribly cruel
conditions beyond their control and not their fault.
Remember, you will stand before the Good Shepherd one
day and He is also the Judge.
Because of my reduced available time
(as well as lack of money for counseling indigent
families, animal assisted counseling of abused children
and adults, and rehabilitating wildlife), my GSI
work will now be focused on writing and speaking to
educate & motivate YOU and others to act for
them.
Please don't forget that THEIR
need for help is desperate, yes even right here in
America and our New Orleans / North Shore area. I've been "swamped" down here (forgive the
pun) this summer with families in counseling crises, as well as animals in need of rescue and
rehabilitation. It's hard having to turn down calls for
help, but I know that you and your churches can and will
now take the ball and run with it.
They need YOU. Remember, rescuing the helpless is our Good
Shepherd's command. |

Beliefs
produce actions both for individuals as well as
cultures (Hitler, Stalin, et al). Oppression of
weak and helpless souls, tolerated by passive sheeple
is increasing. Why? It’s because the cornerstone of our
world’s culture is cracked by a false view of our Creator
as a “cruel” designer of a monstrous “Way” called
“survival of the fittest”. Therefore, we must
address the cancerous problem of cultural cruelty at this
foundational spiritual level for lasting change (Gen 1-3;
Isa 65:25).
Plus,
we must work together, in cooperation with others who care,
regardless of our differences as Christians and non-Christians,
Americans and non-Americans, Republicans and Democrats, dark tan or
light (technically we all are merely shades of "melanin").
New Articles & Audios
Coming Soon:
(as time & money make it possible)
"How
Animals Can Help Heal Hearts - Hurt by Predatory People"
This new ARTICLE is almost complete and focuses
on the created ability of some nephesh animals to reach
beneath mere words to the hearts of children and adults
who've been so hurt by abusive people that they've closed
off normal channels for counseling. Until the heart is
willing to risk trusting and loving again no amount of
counseling can work.
"Yes, Your Beloved
Pets Will Go to Heaven:
Are you sure
you'll be there with them?"
Another new ARTICLE
is in the works, expanded from one of my old seminary - master's degree -
research papers and John Wesley's message on the
"General Deliverance". It includes many
fun animal stories from
years working with elephants and carnivores (literally
lions, tigers, & bears) at the Audubon
Zoo, rescuing and rehabbing wildlife, as well as "animal-assisted"
ministry (i.e., counseling, education, etc) (AAM
Video).
"Buddha, Jesus, or
Whatever:
The Truth about Love is not all religions can be Truth"
This brief AUDIO presentation is based on my background as a
nominal Christian who embraced the teachings of "Sid"
Gautama (Buddhism) and eastern philosophy, yet became
convinced by the overwhelming evidence for "biblical"
Christianity.

Pray,
please, for us as we pray for you and them.
I’m committed to speaking the truth in love without compromise,
and to careful, prayerful stewardship of all funds for the most
effective and efficient service possible. Feel free to
contact me about any questions regarding our financial
management. I've never received enough donations to cover
the cost of this ministry, so the balance comes our of our
families home budget.
Yes, there are other voices (individuals and organizations)
addressing related needs - many who are far more gifted and capable.
However, the sad and urgent reality is that are too few
voices. Suffering continues while most people passively
go on serving self
in silent ignorance. Separately, we can only do a little, but together we can accomplish so
much more.

servant of the Good Shepherd,
