We thank Google and it's YouTube for this great blessing.
My wife and I have been designing jewelry and doing ministry for 20 years. We have started a NEW CHANNEL on YouTube called ABALONEWORLD which I would like to invite you to join as a "Friend" as well as a "Subscriber".
I had been a homeless minister on the streets of LA and other parts of California in the 1980's. This was a far cry from a law career in NYC that God slowly removed me from after I had achieved some modest success. How was I to know LAW was a training ground before His Grace got a hold of me! And so was the music career I had established at night in the Cabaret.
Living by His grace through faith God blessed me with pieces of abalone shells I found on beaches of N. California where I was ministering to the homeless. I had no idea that this creature existed until I stumbled upon a piece of shell on the beach one day.
Six years later, after collecting countless pieces, Jackie and I met and married and began working together to make jewelry. She is quite a talented designer who is self taught like me. At this time I had no money to speak of but A LOT OF ABALONE! and by faith she and I set out to make jewelry having not a clue what we could do with it.
WE BECAME THE ABALONEKIDS!
Abalone dates back in God's creation 175 Million years! I later found out that the more colorful abalone (There are over 75 varieties in the world) are called "Opals of the sea" and by professional standards are "GEM' quality. Abalone also gives birth to unusually shaped pearls and if large enough are extremely valuable.
Please visit our Jewelry/ministry worldwide website. I believe you will enjoy your time there. GOD TAKES CARE OF HIS OWN IN WAYS ONE CANNOT IMAGINE!!! He placed me on the street and then the beach and gave me the means to earn a modest living with Jackie as well as pay for ALL our ministry expenses.
ONCE AGAIN, PLEASE REMEMBER TO SUBSCRIBE AND BE A "FRIEND" OF ABALONEWORLD. STAY IN TOUCH .
