Who is your daddy? If Pastor John R. Peyton was asked this question when he was a boy, he might be ashamed to admit who his daddy was, having grown up in an abusive household with an alcoholic, womanizing father.
However, now as a faithful servant of God and pastor of a loving church, he can now say his true daddy is that of his heavenly Father God.
His new book, Have You Seen My Daddy?, is Pastor John’s detailed life story, beginning with his birth and childhood in Virginia to a strong Christian mother and an abusive, lost father. As he grew up, he witnessed hypocrisy in his home church and racism from other churches, wondering if this Jesus that was spoken of was really someone to be praised and worshipped.
He was soon drafted into the army and traveled to Central America and, all while struggling with his hatred toward white people that intensified through his involvement with the Black Panther Party. It wasn’t until the most unlikely of people witnessed to him of God’s love and Jesus’s sacrifice that Pastor John’s life turned around and because of this he was sent to Vietnam.
As Pastor John moved forward with his life, becoming a husband and father to three daughters, he began to feel God leading him down certain paths where his testimony of God taking away the hate and bringing him peace was impacting people’s lives.
Pastor John, as an agent of reconciliation for God, has been the vessel to change the lives of many, from lost lives in prison ministry to the well-to-do and various races and statuses. The hope is that readers will understand through his life story the need for God in our lives and that change for the better can only happen through Jesus.
Have you seen your Daddy? Because He’s looking for you!
Pastor John R. Peyton was born in Virginia. He grew up witnessing abuse in his home, hypocrisy in churches and racism even in the church.
