After moving back to the UK at the age of thirteen his interests became more esoteric as he grew until eventually he became a Satanist. At the age of twenty-five he was miraculously saved by the Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) and as a result took to heart the scripture he was given at the time: 2 Timothy 2:15, Study to show yourself approved, a workman rightly interpreting the word of truth. After going to an Elim Bible College he spent years in ministries, for the most part reaching out to the Jewish people.
