DEDICATION AND INTRODUCTION

Dedicated to the Ones I Love

My precious Saviour and Lord Jesus, who pulled me out of the pit.

My precious wife, Helen, whose love, care, and prayers bless me every moment of every day.

My precious daughter, Sherry — the cherry on top of my cake. You are my angel.

My beloved son-in-law, Peter, who is such a blessing to me.

To my beloved Chinese brothers and sisters — you are an inspiration.

Thanks

Thanks to the following dear friends who have blessed my life:

I have sat under several very anointed pastors, such as David Green, Richard Scholes, Mark Johnstone, and Zanmei. You have moulded my life through your preaching.

To Victor, Andrew, Kevin, and Mike, who were instrumental in bringing me to faith and helping me grow in faith.

Thanks also to my late parents, Eric and Rita, and my dear brother Peter. You are loved, remembered, and treasured every day.

A very big thank you to my dear friend Pastor Johan Lourens, who kindly gave his time to proofread this document.

Introduction

Everyone has a bucket list — things they want to do before they “kick the bucket”!

One of the things I have always wanted to do is write my life story.

So why should you read this book?

It is the story of my life, told in my own words — the experiences I have had and the people I have met — shared with humour, honesty, and a twinkle in my eye.

This book tells the story of an ordinary person who has the one true God as his Saviour, Guide, Redeemer, and Best Friend.

This is not Keith’s story, but God’s story. It is the story of God’s power to change one person’s heart.

I hope you will enjoy these stories — the good and the bad experiences I have been through. May these words bring glory to God and lead you to the one true Saviour, Jesus Christ.
