William Craig is a gifted writer and inspirational speaker. He was shot in the head, the victim of a drive-by shooting. He has not allowed the traumatic injury to stop him from reaching his purposeful destination. Overcoming challenges of being limited, he has defied the doctors and his critics by learning other languages having a beautiful daughter, and movement was restored to his right leg and vision to his left eye. With a memory strategy he developed he learned Spanish using the four memory vehicles seeing saying hearing and writing he translated his poetry and lyrics then recited and sang the translation to himself and others. He used this technique, to learn Spanish by translating his poetry/songs and singing to himself and others. He gives all credit for his miraculous recovery to his Lord and Savior, who obviously thought 11 minutes of death, was a sufficient amount of time before returning William back to his Earth Suit to complete his assignment. William Craig now, is a community activist adamantly opposing the effects of our troubled economy offering a remedy to the plague of homelessness and hunger impacting the lives of the less fortunate through the The Lighthouse a place of Refuge .
