Patrick Buckley

Portland, Oregon Area United States

Retired Pastor

Religion / Spirituality

Born in Ireland and lived in northern England in the late 60’s where I became involved with drugs and alcohol. Came to America in 1974 and worked in corporate America where drugs and alcohol abuse was partially accepted in the 80’s. Was born again, in a Catholic church and delivered from drugs and alcohol in 1991 and received a dramatic miraculous healing of a cribbing knee problem, which inspired me to really read the Word. I was tormented by fear for about 30 years. This oppression came into my life because of a traumatic event that happened to me as a youth (very common that traumatic incidences can initiate spiritual problems).
