            with the manuscript and shared with Keith its importance,
            particularly in China. During the meeting with Dr. Downey at a
            coffee shop to discuss the manuscript, an unknown lady dressed in
            a green floral dress tapped Keith on the shoulder and kindly stated,
            "You fill the room with light and joy." Dr. Downey inquired if Keith
            knew the individual, to which he responded with a confused, "No, I
            don't know her." This occurred at the very moment when Keith felt
            overwhelmed with the responsibility that he might be called to
            deliver the message to the world. Keith recognized this occurrence
            as a divine indication that his journey must persist. Upon trying to
            locate the lady again a few minutes later, she was nowhere to be
            found.

                   In 2010, Keith embarked on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem to
            nurture his spiritual journey and enrich his faith. This pilgrimage
            provided Keith with a valuable understanding of the Bible, allowing
            him to press deeper into God's love and gain a greater appreciation
            for Jesus' teachings. His journey offered him insights into
            visualizing Bible stories and drawing parallels between Jesus' life
            and his own, providing him with a unique perspective. His
            pilgrimage marked a significant milestone in his spiritual journey,
            and his experiences in Jerusalem have since continued to influence
            his ongoing spiritual growth.

                   In early 2012, Taoist Master Derek Lin, a distinguished
            and best-selling author in the Tao genre, assisted Keith in
            completing an early Christian Edition of the Tao Te Ching, BFG
            Handbook. It was an unexpected privilege for Keith to receive
            support from such a renowned figure in the field. Derek's
            contribution was significant and greatly appreciated. Keith found
