Gary Blackford
I have been on an incredible journey. My journey, like all journeys has had some high mountain top experiences and some deep, cold and extremely dark valleys as well. I used to think I was alone in my suffering, but now I know that so many live where I once lived. My passion is to help lead as many as possible to a life beyond the confines of depression and mental illness. Around the age of 16-17, life for me shifted and I began walking a road that would lead me to darker places than I ever imagined existed in my mind. Hallucinations, paranoia, paralysing fear and depression became constant companions, an all consuming blackness that culminated in a suicide attempt in 1986. Yet, now I'm a Senior Pastor, biblical teacher, professional sales and business development trainer and life coach. I love life. I live and pastor in Coffs Harbour NSW Australia. I enjoy being married to my wife Robyn and have for 20+ years. I also father 4 amazing daughters. How did all this happen? The answer lies in the biblical principles I have learnt and now share. These biblical ideas, teaching and thoughts can, and have, transformed many lives. (Gary)
Gary Blackford is the Senior Pastor of BlueCross Church Coffs Harbour, Australia. Gary and his wife Robyn live to lead people to freedom through God's Word.
