Dwayne Gobin II: Any one who really knows this man can not deny that Jeremiah 1;5-9 will bring Dwayne to your mind every time you read it. Jer 1:5 "Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I set you apart for my holy purpose. I appointed you to be a prophet to the nations." Jer 1:6 I, Jeremiah, said, "Almighty LORD, I do not know how to speak. I am only a boy!" Jer 1:7 But the LORD said to me, "Don't say that you are only a boy. You will go wherever I send you. You will say whatever I command you to say. Jer 1:8 Don't be afraid of people. I am with you, and I will rescue you," declares the LORD. Jer 1:9 Then the LORD stretched out his hand and touched my mouth. The LORD said to me, "Now I have put my words in your mouth" Now for those of you who do not understand this, please allow me to explain. Dwayne was born and raised in the heart of Kansas. Dwayne's parents were told that if he made it to birth, he would be born without legs, arms, or a brain. His mother "being the believer she is" asked God to make her baby whole.....That she would give her baby back to Him...." The Lord God". Being very small at birth the doctors had a lot of "ifs" the first few hours and days of Dwayne's life. But, God didn't have any "ifs" in his plans anywhere when it came to Dwayne. This little boy learned about his merciful savior for the first few years of his life from his mother. Never thinking that one day soon his mother would leave. Though broken and terrified this precious little boy soon found him self with out that image of security and comfort that only his mother could give. Dwayne's father tried hard to make up for what was lacking in his little boys life, although that would be something that could never be made up. only dealt with by a different type of creativity. Dwayne started writing his own songs of love to God when he was nine years old. God always comforted Dwayne. Then Dwayne became the age where growing up gets difficult for all....." trying to become a man!"...... .Dwayne had so much hostility inside and turned to drugs and alcohol to try and relieve his demons. Dwayne had become out of control. He wanted nothing to do with the God who had been there for him growing up. So much his desire to run from it all he remembers telling God to leave him alone. Dwayne ran from home and finished High School while living in a one room apartment alone and working two jobs to try and support himself. Still, "Mom" the woman his Father married and also took Dwayne to raise, love, and be her own along with her own two sons. Made sure that Dwayne always had a hot meal everyday. In school Dwayne was interested in the performing arts. So that was his high spot in school. He had such a hunger to create; he had even taken piano lessons for five years as a boy. His acting ability took him through his high school years with awarding credits. Dwayne finally started taking steps slowly back to God. He got involved in acting at church. Having done high school plays, musicals, community theater, and skits while taking a missions trip to Mexico. Then he spent a year in Drama ministry while attending a Christian College. Dwayne, even though trying to be the man Gods word said he should be, kept looking for someone. That special one to love him and be by his side for life. Dwayne married, but he was always looking for lost causes....someone his love could fix! When he needed to love God and Dwayne first, then let God pick his wife. Dwayne finally learned this," after" falling for threats that at the time ended him unable to see his only daughter. Everyday he prays that God watch over his little girl and some way reunite them as father and daughter. Dwayne now has over two hundred songs to his credit. But the biggest and most important thing to Dwayne is speaking the word of God. Full filling the words of a man he didn't know at a pier by the ocean {as a child}. The man told Dwayne that someday he would preach Gods word. Then later again in his twenties, a woman from church said the same thing. Not to mention the times Dwayne heard the words over again in his spirit. Dwayne takes classes through Luther Rice University for a formal education in ministry and now plays and sings with the love of his life, his wife Lisa. Writing is how Dwayne and Lisa met. Lisa was in a studio recording her first Gospel CD. She was looking for some new material when she went to the web and found Dwayne's work. just a tiny bit of it....but she loved it!"?. and He loved her". ."For the first time God brought Dwayne a woman who loves The Lord as much as he does! Dwayne is also a published Poet in England and he has so many songs it would take the rest of their lives to record them all. Two of them are already on their new CD. They will be adding more I'm sure! Dwayne is also getting very learned in producing. Although, Lisa could live in the studio and do the same note all day till it sounds the way it should. Dwayne is as meticulous at his writing. So I believe they make a wonderful Godly match. Amen!
