Highlights of My Life Since High School:
In 2005, my husband and I founded Eternal Life International with a goal to take the good news of Jesus Christ to the nations and regions that have never heard the gospel. We ministered in some of the most dangerous areas in the world including Pakistan and the militant muslim armies in Mindanao, Philippines. Over the years, we have witnessed over 100,000 people receive Christ and have seen the Lord perform hundreds of miracles in our crusades. My husband passed away 3 years ago and plan on continuing to preach and teach in churches, retreats, conferences in the USA and internationally.

Hi Leslie,
Wonderful to read about your life. Just as in the water, you are still ahead of me! (I think that the only time I won races was when you sat them out!! But I didn’t mind coming in second to someone who was so good!) Look forward to seeing you this weekend.
