In 2005 while Jeff was at his desk working on one of the various businesses he has owned, God spoke to him very clearly that he was to buy the domain name I am a Friend of God. Jeff went to his internet registrar and all three main domains were there. Jeff states; “I got distracted and was not immediately obedient. A week or so later I remembered and went back to buy the domains. One of them had been purchased and not by an organization you would think would want a domain with that name on it. I repented of my lack of obedience and I promised God if the domain ever became available I would buy it no matter what it cost. Over the years, I would check and it had either just been renewed or the renewal wasn’t up for a while. Then in March of 2017, on a Sunday morning I clearly heard God say ‘look for the domain now.’ Well I felt impressed to do a google search in place of going to my domain registrar. There it was up for auction on GoDaddy. I placed a bid. I won the bid and was able to purchase that remaining domain on that day. It was after I had that final domain that God began to speak to me of the ways he wanted me to use each of the domains. I knew that this was a calling, I knew that this was the process God wanted me to pursue. In 2019 I am a friend of God went on the Air at the Message FM in Cartersville GA. I invite you to share in our vision of helping people become a friend of God.”
