About Paul Hester

God blessed me with an Electrical Engineering from UAH only after I committed to being His slave the rest of my life. So when I believed He wanted me to quit my 30-year job prematurely, losing tons of potential retirement money, I didn't drag my feet. The day after my Christian wife asked what I was waiting for, with tears in my eyes, I wrote my letter of resignation. While we were living on Ebeye with random power outages, God blessed our two daughters with successful engineering careers and each one with faithful Christian providers with identical hearts for pleasing our Creator. They each purchased their first house while we were away doing God's work. You can never out give God. After seeing how God provides, my wife said I didn't have to go back to work, but God expects me to work. (Eph 4:28).
