Life In the link below you can read the story of my life in five minutes google "A Boy's Calling to be a Missionary of the Heart Starting after high school I was a counsellor in federal and provincial corrections, and took ministerial training with The Salvation Army. I served as a missionary in a medium-sized city called Kangnung, in South Korea. In 1997 I graduated with honours from Canada Christian College with a Bachelor of Theology degree.Then, I was assistant ESL coordinator at Canada Christian College. In 2000 I was an assistant professor of ESL at Kwandong University in Kangnung, South Korea. Three months after the Sept. 11 attack I spoke in chapel at the Canadian headquarters for World Vision.My devotional message focused on the text I John 4:18 in which it is stated that "perfect love drives out fear."

A naturopathic doctor was able to diagnose three other patients with pernicious anemia before their condition was anywhere near the severity of mine. I am thankful that through my illness other people were helped to live a life with less health challenges. A Grand Rounds video detailing my case and others, and my talk about my personal experiences with the illness, has been used to teach hundreds of naturopathic doctors about pernicious anemia.I have lectured a few times at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine. First, I taught in the role of a patient.In my second lecture I had the students imagine what challenges their life would have if they had pernicious anemia diagnosed late into progression. On a more comical note I wrote a T.V. play about Dr. Franz Gezundheit,who had been diagnosed with pernicious anemia.He was being interviewed on a T.V. show called The Overcomers.I used an exaggerated German accent.
