John's Story
You can watch my weekly TV programs 24/7 youtube/gays4jesus
I spent 4 year in the USAF year after High School after about a year making electrical switches for airplanes. I really enjoyed the one year I spent in Thailand. Enjoyed friendships with so many of the Thai workers at that base. It really was a lot like a one year vacation. I met my American Indian guy as soon as I got out of the service and spent 10 years with him. I had accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior and joined the Assemblies of God 3 yrs. later.
That took a toll on my relationship among other things and we parted with me moving to Seattle. After a few years of working in a warehouse that sold office furniture I found I could go on TV and as of 2015 I am now in my 30th year of weekly TV program while holding a full time manager Job. In 2013 I stepped down to 2 days a week hoping to retire soon...
I have now been at Home Depot since 2005 and I was often the manager on duty for the whole store, otherwise I run the plumbing department of all things. I have been with my current lover since Jan. 1990 and we married May 6th, 2013. He passed on Good Friday 2019. We own our house and have had many new cars one is a SLK 2006 Mercedes. Now a 2015 C-Coupe after 8 years with a CLK a few years with an E-Class and a few years with a C- Class. Stef loved Mercedes.
I am looking forward to retiring I never like working and happy it is a couple years off now to retire (update only a month away now from June 2015). Not sure what I plan to do other than travel. I hope ...Expand for more
to expand my TV ministry to public healing rallies. Finally did retire and I enjoy many tour package all over the world.
My health always is well, hardly ever missing a day of work. We are nearly done with a process of replacing our furniture and kitchen appliances with new ones (decades ago now thinking of getting new stuff 2015). I done a lot of work remodeling our house and think that will never end. In 2013 I had double bypass surgery, had to stay in the hospital 4 times longer than average due to doctor's worries, but am fine 10 years later so far.
My ministry is a little radical though reading the statement of faith of The Assemblies of God and my statement of faith the belief is just about identical. It is that they see the word gay in my TV name "Gays For Jesus" that makes them think I am going to hell. The opposite is true when AOG pastors don't know I am gay, then they think God is with me and often tell me so.
I love to hear from people, so far I know at least one person in every country that has watched my TV program on line. Covid shut down the TV station which everyone on that station lost thier air time. Now it's just social media where I upload programs to.
Would also love to hear from 1965 Ramona grads I can be reached at gays4jesus at gays4jesus dot c o m
I have tried to email some people but I do not have the access here yet at Classmates.com
Well above was the short version of my life as a ton of things more would take books and I do like to write so this is enough.
