My Story: InFocus guest interviews

My guest today joined an international Christian, charitable agency for 12 months as CEO, but stayed there for 4 years.

During that time Asian Aid grew from a 1.8 million dollar charity to a 4.2 million dollar organisation committed to making a difference while remaining accountable to donors and supporters.

Sharon Heise has helped establish essential policies and facilitate a clearer strategic direction, for Asian Aid Australia.

Sharon has also supported the implementation of a child protection policy with schools in Southern Asia and has helped undertake research work in women's health in Nepal.

Thousands of Sydney-siders have been confronted by evidence that Jesus is returning soon.

International speaker Doug Batchelor presented a series of public lectures focusing on the theme “Time is Ticking Away”. Atheists are also holding meetings in Sydney attacking Christianity and claiming “Religion poisons everything.”

Last week David Gibbons talked with popular Bible and prophecy presenter Doug Batchelor and he joins him here in the studio again...

My guest today used to be an anti-social, drug-using, cave-dwelling hermit... But he has become an engaging, popular international speaker.

As a young person, he had everything money could buy. But he ran away from home when he was just 15 years old, turned to drugs, committed crimes, and spent time in jail.

Then he lived as a nudist in a remote cave, scavenging for food in garbage bins.

One day he found a dust-covered Bible someone had left in his cave. It changed his life!

Today, Pastor Doug Batchelor has his own international TV program and can be heard on more than 125 radio stations across the United States.
