To live the spiritual laws of God—divine Love—has been at the center of my life since I was a teenager. In my mid-20’s, on sabbatical from teaching and studying voice at a Conservatory, the message came in the middle of a lesson: “This isn’t it.

My greatest joy has been found in healing, and helping others discover the freedom that only God can give. To know that you are truly loved – never forsaken nor helpless – brings an unspeakable peace like no other. I became a teacher to share this living truth that will further the words and works of Christ Jesus.

I am a South African and come from a long line of family committed to the rights of man – based on a spiritual foundation. Throughout my life I have experienced evidence of God’s protecting and healing power in that I never missed a day of my schooling or business career due to illness. I was able to assist my fellow pupils and corporate colleagues to experience the presence of the Christ in many different situations.

As a preschooler, I fell out of a tree, badly wounding my arm. Worried that my dad, not a Christian Scientist, would be alarmed, my mom considered taking me to a doctor.

  My parents found Christian Science when I was eight, and we experienced our mother’s healing of cancer, as well as many other healings of serious diseases over the years. I was always curious to know how prayer worked, especially after I was healed of yellow fever.

What an exhilarating experience to have the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy come alive through their spiritual meaning! I gained a glimpse of this as a student in the Christian Science Sunday School. Ever since, I have continued to participate in Sunday School whenever possible, either as teacher of all age levels or as superintendent.

Growing up, I loved attending the Christian Science Sunday School, where I learned about God’s love for mankind, Jesus’ healing ministry, and Mary Baker Eddy’s discovery of the Comforter, as promised by Jesus. That experience strengthened my deep love for Christian Science and my desire to know more about man’s relationship with God and to put it into practice.

"Love inspires, illumines, designates, and leads the way,” Mary Baker Eddy writes (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, page 454). I have witnessed this in my journey.

I grew up in a deeply Christian family, and very early learnt to love God and read the Bible. While a university student, I heard about Christian Science, and was immediately drawn to the fact that Christ is a real, though not physical, presence, which I may prove practically, by healing like Jesus.

There’s a Psalm that has helped me discover and follow my life’s path: “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way” (Psalm 37) While in college I took courses in architecture, but discovered that my heart was in radio broadcasting, so I took that step and spent time working at the college radio station. Then I was drafted into the Army, which led to serving in American Forces Radio, followed by years of work in commercial radio, then as a national radio consultant.  In that capacity I was hired to help  The Christian Science Monitor  launch 'Monitor Radio'.
