Then he uses the rest of the year for archaeological research, mostly at his own expense. He has sold up almost everything to embark on this work, no longer having any real estate, or medical insurance (which is almost obligatory in the U.S.A.) He has worked tirelessly with his two sons, and been captured by terrorists in Turkey, and imprisoned by Arabs in Saudi Arabia. His health is not A.1, having received war injuries, but his determination to serve the Lord, and establish the truth of His written word is a life-long drive. He is a man of prayer, and devotion to the Lord, and has seen some remarkable, and miraculous answers to prayer over the years.
