Jack Leaves Home and Moves in with Ella in San Francisco
This could have been 1944. Heart of a servant leader timeline has 1943. However, in a faith worth sharing, Jack says he was 16 when he left home, which would have made this at least 1944 since he was born on Dec 18, 1928. Went to live with his sister.
Saw a movie that disturbed him. Theme was that problems of modern man stem from his inability to be thankful to God for his gifts of creation.
Location: For San Francisco
When I was sixteen, I dropped out of high school and left my home in Oregon. I moved to San Francisco to live with my sister Ella, who had become a Christian. There I was able to work in the shipyards and earn a high school diploma. My earlier questions prepared my heart to hear my sister Ella talk about God. Ella and I had many conversations about the meaning of life and her new faith. During this same time, I saw a movie that disturbed me. Its simple theme was that the problems of modern man stem from his inability to be thankful to God for his gifts of creation. This was a new thought for a confirmed atheist and another way God prepared my heart. The movie left me troubled and hungry for answers, and I began to attend church sporadically with my sister.
