My name is Ollie Fobbs, I was Ordained in 1986, went in the military in 1988, after being married to my second wife Joyce Smith, I was stationed in Germany for two years, there I joined a local Protestant Church, where the pastor led me in the things of Holiness and the preached word. Upon getting back to Richmond Virginia, I started trying to find work anywhere I could. During the course of the next ten years, many would reject me as a man of God, many would deny me a place of employment, and teaching the word, where ever I was, became the order of the day. I became homeless two times during this season of my life, and the devil made valuable attempts to get me to move back into an old lifestyle that I had already defeated, during this time, I found out just how good God really was. I was hungry, and I made use of public trash cans, I was in need of bathing, and God helped me to make use of the local river and streams. then I started doing ministry courses on the web, one was of a school in India, it was a great course, three times a week, I went to the Library to do the weeks assignments, after four years of study with them, they sent me a grade average and said that I was a graduate, but the degree never showed up which was fine. Two years later, I moved to Winston Salem North Carolina, that was when I married my present wife LaVonia Boartwright Fobbs. She has been a God sent from the word go, we have really enjoyed life, and we are presently looking to take life to the next level and travel extensively, but, that still too depends on what the Lord wants of us. My son, Andy Reid, still lives in Richmond Virginia, his daughters Ashleigh and Jade, live there too. My brothers, and mother are also in Richmond Virginia. life has been great over the past almost 8 years now, the Lord at this point has blessed me with 80 published books, and I still have another 79 that I am currently working on. I was born in a home in Halifax county of North Carolina, many years ago, I make that sound old right? There were many things about this that I didn't learn until I was in my forties, I knew my Grand mother was a great woman, to me, she was the closest thing to a real prophet of God that ever walked the earth, I loved her, she passed away at 71 years old, in 1971, odd right? I cried my heart out when she passed away, I was about 9 years old then, my mother and father planned my birth, my father told my mom, his name was the only name he knew, so I have his name.
