The problem of prejudice reached back as far as the Civil War.
Donna led a troubled life during her early adult years, prompting her to rededicate her life to Jesus Christ when she was twenty-six. In 2002, she founded He Knows My Name , a Christian ministry that takes the gospel to millions of people around the world.
Donna has traveled hundreds of thousands of miles around the world, with one of those destinations being Rwanda. In 2006, Donna found Emmanuel, a small orphan child who had been living in the Rwanda brush. Emmanuel, a child of the post-genocide generation, was dying. Donna and her husband Ray were moved to adopt him as their own.

Out of a pure love for Jesus, Donna accepted the challenge to write the true story of Arthur Lee Crume Sr. so the truth of the gospel would reign.view less
