Thank you for your heart and your ministry.  My story mirrors that of so many others who have read the fruits of your ministry and have been reclaimed by a loving Savior.  My story is one of an absent father, two failed marriages and the belief that I "just gotta be nicer!"

God let me sink to my own version of hell and then pulled me from the abyss with the help of other reclaimed men.  The reclamation process culminated at the 2005 World Karate Championship where God pitted me against a 6'4" 268 pound mountain in the finals (of my belt classification).  I weighed in at a meager 178lbs.  At the age of 44, this was no small task.  Even though I spent many years in the military doing stuff stuff the military does, God made it perfectly clear that this was my validation match.  While I lost, thus finishing second, the true validation came when the head judge (a 4th degree black belt) said he was glad that I was fighting the mountain and not him!  I had the most beautiful black eye and a three foot tall trophy as my prizes from God.

Mine is just one story in a chorus of so many others who were helped through your ministry.  I know Wild at Heart takes many arrows from all directions (sadly even Christians), but in my heart your ministry is invaluable. 

Today, I am married to a physician who seeks a life long journey with God and myself.  Together we make an annual trek to a slum in Rio to provide medical care and put on a soccer tournament.  The week long event is amazing to participate in.  But, each man and woman on the journey has been through his own version of hell.  I wouldn't have it any other way! 

Thanks again for your ministry
