About James Arendt
I was raised in the Hegewisch neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, served in the USAF from 1970 to 1974, honorably discharged and became a full-time evangelist for Christ living 40 years in Japan, 3.5 years in Russia, and a few months in other countries such as Finland, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, South Korea, Taiwan and mainland China where I also served the King of Kings, Jesus, as an Ambassador for His Kingdom. My full bio.

This website and my daily work on it adding new articles is because of faithful followers of Jesus Christ whose hearts the Lord touched to send us a gift towards our support. I'm now 75 and get only a small social security pension from the US government because I worked only 10 years under the Social Security system.

Other than PayPal and Gcash, the only other option I know of how you can send my wife and I a gift is through Western Union. There is a local Western Union office in town and I have received a gift through it. All you need to give them is is my name, James Andrew Arendt, and that I live in the Philippines. After that, please send me a photo of the transaction receipt to the above email address so I can show the tracking number and your name and amount of money to the Western Union lady. Thank you!
