Many
of you who visit my web site will never have heard of this ‘Highways And
By-Ways’ ministry and will wonder what it is all about. Please give me a moment
of your time and I will try to explain a little of the Life and Vision of
Brother Clifford Edwards.
Brother Clifford was born in 1945
and after a childhood of constant abuse he made his mark as an entertainer and
achieved fame for his powerful singing voice. During the sixties and early
seventies he became very wealthy and the world was his for the asking. During
the latter part of his career he became a heavy drinker, this led to alcoholism
and his career failed. Within a short time he ran out of money and became
homeless.
He headed for London and spent the
next Twenty Years living on the streets around the Thames or in down and out
hostels. He was dried out in detoxification clinics and mental hospitals thirty
three times. In February 1996 he was given six months to live after cirrhosis
and brain damage was diagnosed. By August he found it very difficult to walk
and suffered a constant migraine. The doctor was a regular visitor to the dying
man.
It was at this time that Clifford
called out to GOD for help and gave his life to Jesus. During a time of prayer
he felt led to go on a mission through Devon and Cornwall standing on the
streets singing hymns and collecting donations to pay his way. He set off from
Lancashire with a railway ticket and all the money he had £1.
The rest is history and even though
he was diagnosed with double throat cancer in 2001 and had to endure two major
operations and radiotherapy Clifford continues serving His Saviour. He now
spends most of the year driving a converted coach and stopping as the Lord
instructs in lay-byes and service stations throughout the UK. Here he waits and
visitors call in for prayer or a cuppa and a chat.
If you want more information please
feel free to contact him by email or telephone and he will send you a copy of
his life story. Alternatively request one by email and
he will send you one to your email address but remember that it is twenty-eight
pages long. His
doctors have now given Clifford the all clear. He is a walking MIRACLE
