Author: Richard Foster
Richard Foster is blessed to reside in beautiful San Juan Island, Washington, with wife Virlinda, and children Enoch and Taylianna. As an excavation contractor and septic system installer, he helps island homes to properly make wastewater go away, as well as digging holes and filling them in whenever needed. Formerly an Adventist for 13 years, the Lord providentially led him on a journey of deeper Bible study, and a realization of the true biblical gospel through learning what the real issues were in the Protestant Reformation. He continues to enjoy studying biblical theology in his spare time. He and his family happily attend and help with ministry in a local community church, where the preaching is expository, and the central focus is the gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ alone.
