Pat Lunsford

Pat Lunsford is climate change channel manager for Helium.com and site owner of Christian Video Resource at http://www.patlunsford.webs.com/ (click the link below under 'affiliations')
Writing has always been one of Pat's passions and lately her focus has been climate change. When she first began researching this highly controversial topic she noticed a possible connection to end time prophecies such as floods, drought, famine, disease, earthquakes and more. This spawned a series of articles which led to her being asked to be climate change channel manager.
As a result, Pat believes she has been drawn closer to God and is more convinced than ever that we are rapidly approaching the end of the age and the return of Jesus Christ. She admits that climate change is not one of the major signs of the last days but was simply the catalyst which ignited her interest in Bible prophecy.
The desire to investigate and write about Bible prophecy and climate change has truly made a difference in her life. "Once I started down this path," she said, "the Scriptures seemed to come alive as I struggled to understand the truth."
However, climate change is only one of the many subjects that Pat has written about. She loves fiction and just weeks of joining Helium she was contacted by the publisher of an online magazine about her short stories.
Currently she has written more than 700 articles for Helium and Associated Content- many of which have been purchased.
If you would like to contact Pat Lunsford, email her at plnsfrd@aol.com. Please visit her website, Christian Video Resource at http://www.patlunsford.webs.com/ and watch hundreds of Christian videos featuring sermons, lectures, and full-length movies by some of today's leading Bible scholars.
