: About Me

Out of one we have many nations

Hi my name is Gerry, I am from Leeds.

Over the last twenty five years, I have held position as company Director in hotel management. and taught Religious Education in schools for sixteen years, I have also served as Pastor for a Pentecostal body, and have been engaged in public speaking for many years.

The bulk of my work has been done while contributing to voluntary mission and community projects, my portfolio includes creative writing, poetry and spiritual articles. I work with Christian Aid fund raising. Teaching Christian Education, writing prophetic columns, I have had a passion for  poetry from my early school days, and now as I am getting older, a flame burns even brighter, my desire is to faithfully discharge my duty as a steward of the gospel.

My own educational background includes a diploma in theology, with further education in Cambridge pharmaceutical institute, leisure and tourism.

My passion is romantic living, chilling out with smooth jazz and a dry sense of humor. Writing is a thoughtful way of expressing my faith and reaching others with something spiritual to offer.

I believe writers should be respected and honored, for their creativity and the inspiration they give to others.
