I'll be teaching 7 classes of biological sciences for 08-09 at NCS, so my GSI time must be limited.

Due to reduced available time (as well as lack of funds for counseling indigent families, animal assisted counseling of abused children and adults, and rehabilitating wildlife), my GSI focus will be on writing and speaking to educate & motivate YOU and others to act for them. 

Please don't forget that THEIR need for help is desperate, yes even right here in America.  I've been "swamped" down here (forgive the pun) this summer with families in crisis needing counseling, as well as animals in need of rescue and rehabilitation.  It's hard having to turn down calls for help, knowing that many of you and your churches could provide the counsel, funds, or materials they need.  They need YOU.

New Articles/Booklets Coming Soon:
(as time & money make it possible)

"How Animals Can Help Heal Hearts - Hurt by Predatory People"
A new article/booklet is almost complete and focuses on the created ability of some nephesh animals to reach beneath mere words to the hearts of children and adults who've been so hurt by abusive people that they've closed off normal channels for counseling.  Until the heart is willing to risk trusting and loving again no amount of counseling can work.

"Yes, Your Beloved Pets Will Go to Heaven:
Are you sure you'll be there with them?"
Another new article/booklet is in the works, expanded from one of my old seminary - master's degree - research papers and John Wesley's message on the "General Deliverance".  It includes many fun animal stories from years working with elephants and carnivores (literally lions, tigers, & bears) at the Audubon Zoo, rescuing and rehabbing wildlife, as well as "animal-assisted" ministry (i.e., counseling, education, etc) (AAM Video).
