At the age of 5 God called John to work for an aviation-based mission out of the United Kingdom. Having spent his life planning and training for that calling he exited mission work in a dramatic and painful way.

After over a decade of pain and suffering John's medical condition was finally diagnosed correctly and treated. During the pandemic of 2020 John felt called to share his story of healing on Facebook. The response from other "Wounded Christians" led to the writing of his first book "The Wounded Christian - a Love Letter to a Broken Child of God". A book of healing and restoration to those who have been wounded in their service to God.
