He once recorded “There is not one single day I can honestly recall that I even vaguely enjoyed school…I loathed school with a passion” Despite this, from an early age he developed a talent for poetry and verse; winning several awards on the RBC. He is also an acclaimed gemstone cutter and polisher; cherishing the prestigious honor of having several of his gemstones displayed in the Smithsonian institute in Washington DC.
During the days of Rhodesia’s unilateral declaration of independence UDI and the subsequent bush war, he, like many others his age, were drafted into the army to fight the threat of communism; this period transformed him totally, he thrived on army life and holds the dubious honor of being amongst the very first to volunteer for border duty in the Zambezi valley alongside the famed Rhodesian Light Infantry RLI…many of his writings and poems reflect this tragic time in Rhodesian history. Like many who have turned their weapons into plowshares he has found a new life in the Lord Jesus Christ and now heads up a Christian outreach program on the internet…Obadiahoutreach.org.
His passion for the Lord; his passion for his fellow man; his passion of the written word… are all reflected in his poetry.view less
