He also taught several terms in a mission school in Murmansk, Russia. Gary was a prolific writer, editor and publisher. He authored many books, articles, tracts, contributed to numerous lectureship books and maintained an evangelistic website on bible subjects. His effort to “make tents” led to secular endeavors: inventor/patent holder, writer of song lyrics, and children’s books.
