Wesley Cox

Wesley A James was born in Ohio in 1982. His father raised him and his two older brothers to be carpenters, taking them to work when they were ten years old. After high school Wesley worked his way through college assisting his father's business in construction. Eventually he became a respiratory therapist and then a registered nurse, but his passion was studying ancient history.

Eventually, Wes volunteered to go on a mission through World Gospel Mission to do carpentry in Honduras. This mission changed his outlook on life. His passion for serving God grew. He began studying Spanish and writing poetry and writing different manuscripts on ancient history. Soon he realized some things that should never be forgotten were lost, especially in the modern day atmosphere of Christianity.

Feeling compelled to teach people of the past persecutions and identity of Christianity, he decided to write "The Christian and the Lion". After returning to missions in Central America, he then decided to proceeds from his writing and to fund mission work in Honduras and Guatemala. In these countries where poverty and starvation are epidemics, two missions providing food for the poor and education will be supplemented with his writing to help teach impoverished children about Jesus Christ.
