My wife, Shelley, and I have five children and have been married for over 30 years. On January 19, 2004, she experienced a major stroke at the age of 44 that almost claimed her life. This dramatic experience changed our lives forever, setting the course for a "higher" calling.

A couple of months later, after receiving an ultimatum from my employer to commit long term or be indefinitely laid off, I left my job as a tool designer. In my heart I knew that the Lord was calling me to come work full time for Him.

We have been entrusted with a "trumpet-like" ministry to awaken the sleeping Bride in America. We must prepare our hearts to meet our Heavenly Bridegroom. The power of God that resurrected my bride is a sign of the power of God that will also resurrect His Bride. Though she appears in our nation to be almost dead, like Shelley was, she too will be revived through the difficult circumstances that are soon coming upon her.

The days ahead for our nation, as well as the entire world,..
