The '60s Jesus movement started at a little Foursquare Church in Los Angeles and my mother took me to Angeles Temple of which the Holy Ghost built and by using Amy Semple McPherson and others, to God be the glory. I was struggling with identity and who I am and what is my purpose in life and what is the meaning of life and I turned to street drugs to medicate myself for I had no medical insurance at the time as a teenager. I began using methamphetamine and getting addicted to the subtle draw of the drug and is highly addicting. My mother took me to a prayer meeting at Angelus Temple next to Echo Park and I saw this young skinny black man playing the piano and singing gospel music and it turned out to be Andre Crouch of the disciples, before he became a multiple Grammy Award gospel singer and I heard a black lady testifying how God paid her rent after prayer and the door knocked and there was an envelope with her rent money from under the door or something like that and my mother asked the elders there to pray for me, so I was kind of excited about this Pentecostal meeting the first one I'd ever been to In My Life of which Amy simple McPherson popularized with music and drama and took it into the mainstream. During the Roaring Twenties and during the Depression years feeding people no matter what their religion race or Creed in Los Angeles in a highly polarized City. When the elders laid hands on me and prayed for me but they begin praying in tongues of which I have never heard of before and it was all new to me being raised a Catholic. I felt kind of warm as I prayed for me, kind of warm inside the building and I thought it was just being indoors for I was so used to living Outdoors during the 60s and being a runaway and all during that period and living across the bridge in Marin County from San Francisco wherever I could and whoever car or couch I could sleep in and I had an apartment by this time that I was sharing and a little job as a dishwasher at elderly convalescent Danish retirement The Village complex in San Rafael California. I walked outside to get some cool fresh air and through my cigarettes away and felt enough Faith to say to myself that it's over I'm quitting and no more meth for me. When I got back to my apartment in Fairfax California within days old friend showed up at the door with what they said was some crystal meth and I stumbled and fell and took it and then I felt so sick and paranoid without getting high, that I curled up around the telephone ready to call 911. Thinking that I might die or that I was pleased or had some bad dope, never took it again or any version of Meth, to this day and I was 17 then and I'll be 74 on June 26th 1949 and the ministry that God used Amy to start was still going on and over a million members of the church worldwide today and in spite of all her stumbles and falls of which were as Titanic as her successes. God bless Amy there in the afterlife in Paradise waiting for the first resurrection of the just the next great women Evangelist Katheryn Khulmem excepted Amies Mantel of the Holy Ghost and I was born again in the front of the Shrine Auditorium of what she rented once a month in Los Angeles. Where the Academy Awards used to be awarded. For it was a year later after I was delivered and healed and even before I was a born again Christian from methamphetamine and hard drugs, until I stumbled and fell and took LSD on and off for a week and I felt like such a failure and that I had no willpower to do good and be perfect. I'm still not perfect but I understand now that Christ is my perfection and he exchanged his righteousness and the holy robes for my regs and I entered into the richness of the kingdom of God within. Hallelujah Waterfront and anchor out Pastor of San Francisco Bay Peter the preacher and see you Sundays in Dunphy Park Sausalito California at noon every Sunday all summer long with a barbecue and church picnic and fellowship and the reading and the preaching of the word by 2:00 in the afternoon after everybody was full and happy and didn't have to sit through the sermon to get fed, of which is fine and dandy also. I ended up being invited with my mother to be on Katheryn Kuhlmens national television program, to share my testimonies so in effect these two women had a major influence in my life and the Holy Spirit of healing and loving and forgiving and restoring, is still going on and eventually the mantel fell on another preacher named Benny Hinn and God bless Benny also, in Jesus Christ Holy Name the name that is above every name in heaven and Earth along with the father and the Holy Ghost.
