Sam has shared his music & evangelistic speaking ministry with the tribal peoples of Namibia, Africa. The secret police came to every concert he did in a country in the 10\/40 window (Sorry, we can\u2019t name the country due to political unrest). His songs have stirred the hearts of people in the jungle hills of Jamaica, West Indies. He has communicated the Word of God in great cities and little villages on the European continent. Ministry has taken him from coast to coast in both the United States and in his native country of Canada.<\/p>\n<\/div>

First Girlfriend<\/h2>

Miss Bell (my Grade 1 teacher at Cloverdale Elementary School). I tried various means to win her love, and even kissed her hand while she was marking my spelling test! My heart was broken because she \u201cjust wanted to be friends.\u201d (yeah right!!) I am kind of relieved now though, because she is probably about 70 years old now! (not that there\u2019s anything wrong with that).<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
