My
story .......
My name
is Geoffrey Michael Taylor. I was born in Port Elizabeth, Eastern
Cape, South Africa. As a boy I attended the Methodist Church in Pier
Street, South End and sang in the church choir. At a very young age
we started a group called Gospel Callers and sang and prayed
for people in all areas of Port Elizabeth. We enjoyed the youth camps
every year which we held at a farm called Seven Fountains.
As I
got older I used to sing in competitions such as the local EP Herald On
the Go Show, where I sang country music. I also sang in a
national Talent Show called Crescendo held in Johannesburg.
I gave
my life to God when Billy Graham came to South Africa and was very
committed to my church. We used to have movie night on Fridays trying
to encourage young people to be more positive and learn more about
the Bible.
There
was a break in my life when I did not sing (only in the shower!),
till one day I met a friend called Ken J. Larkin. Ken encouraged me
to sing with him in charity fund raising events including one for
Lake Farm Centre for mentally handicapped adults on Saturday 31st
October 1998 which brought in R27,700 for this good cause.
God has
spared my life many times. When I was 5 years old, on my birthday, I
was run down by a taxi driven by a drunk person. I was also run down
when 11 years old. Again the Good Lord spared me. Two times I nearly
drowned, but was saved again. I worked for 7 years in rough areas,
was almost stabbed, and was shot at. Again God intervened. I fell two
stories but only cracked my back - yet again the good Lord saved my
life. From then I told the Lord "enough is enough". I spent
3 months in a wheelchair and had to leopard crawl to the shower.
I have
not had formal employment for 7 years but the Lord has always
provided us with a meal. Now Cathy and I are praying for transport as
it was prophesied that we would travel the whole of Africa, then
America, then England.
I write
my own songs. |

Thank
You Jesus
Do not
look down upon one another. Jesus loves the hobo just as much as He
loves anyone else.
