Tim Storey

So that was really different because I did not expect that.

I expected to help people in inner cities, create inner city programs,

So I think that the fact I went to seminary, so my doctorate is in world religion, master's is in psychology.

get NFL players, NBA players, maybe entertainers to help sponsor me.

That's how I saw my life.

So when I went to seminary, I went there to become a cool Mother Teresa, because I was very influenced by what she did for the orphans.

So I did not know that I was going to go from A to Z so fast.

And if I was to do it over again, I would say I went too fast.

I go to seminary, I'm minding my own business, and as you know, some things in life you decide, some things you discover.

So when I was in seminary, I discovered that I had a gift to connect with people through language, to communicate, that I communicated in a way where it drew people.

One of my friends who's quite successful, a very well-known actor, he called me Forrest Gump.

He's like, Tim, people like you so much, they just want to do things for you.

And this started when I was only 18 years of age.

Then by the time I was 20, I was already speaking to thousands of people in America, but at 20 I had 13,000 people come and see me in Nigeria.

So that's what happened.

I really have a servant's heart.

My motives were pure.

I just wanted to help people.

And people saw that, big NFL players, NBA players, movie stars, early on.

I had 20 years of age, I had 14,000 people come and see me in Surabaya, Indonesia.
