Praise God!  As an ex-athiest who had the god of his scientific
humanist belief (my mind was my god, along with the collective mind of
accumulated society and technology) taken away from him, leaving his
belief in a state of contradiction by an episode of mental illness
(bipolar or manic depressive illness) 19 years ago, I was made
receptive to the witness of the gospel thru this event.  Just over a
year after my release from the hospital, I was invited to church over
the CB radio.  Two years after my illness, I received the Holy Ghost.
Ten years after that, I received the call to preach this glorious
gospel.  A ministry to those suffering with mental illness has been a
burden of both myself and my wife for many years, but we did not know
how to begin.  This survey could be a real ground breaking for this
ministerial need.  I want to help as I am able.  Thank you so much!
