I knew you have a strong faith, and the American continent is loosing good leader ship in ministries to age and death. I just thought you have the strength in your faith and have the chrisma and personality, quality in your character, of honesty and truthfullness amongst other qualities that I have no knowledge of to help redirect the generations toward a faith in God. As l am 77 and a loyal follower of Dr. Charles Stanley, l know how important good spiritual leaders are. This isn't about anyone's net worth. It is about transformation and bringing faith back to those who are lost in life, who may have had too many trials too soon or who are dissappointed and floundering and loosing hope. Our countries need new sincere people to lead the right way. EVERONE needs someone to love, something purposefull to do, and. something to believe in, that to is God! Without those three purposes and structures everything else has no substance or value to make anyone's life have a sense of direction. Young people are floundering. Young people relate to people who have good values and good lives. Both you and your wife have just that, so does your brother. It is wishful thinking but worth the suggestion.
