Produced By Steven Wilder "Yakwild"Always Christ first, then eternity with Him. Come Lord Jesus!************************************The Abalone Kid is NOT a man who stands aloof. This is about a lost sinner, "CHIEFEST", he says, and how a lost life can be changed by a loving God who died for all of us!THE LEGEND OF THE ABALONEKIDBorn & raised in Brooklyn, Chaim (His Hebrew name) rubbed elbows with the leading singers of the day. A great love of music was born. He began writing songs and music without formal training. Later he would say "God prepared me as a child and called me as a man to give Him the Glory". From the time he wrote the music you hear on his videos, to the time God opened the door of the world to him, 30 years passed!In his academic career he studied hard & achieved a high standard as a Madison Avenue lawyer. He fought for women and children rights as well as a father's right to see his children on a regular basis after family disunity. At night he performed his songs in famous Cabaret's and dinner clubs in NYC and met Cat Steven's, Stevie Wonder, Roberta Flack, and was offered contracts to be managed by John Hammond, Sr, who discovered Dylan, Springsteen and numerous Jazz greats. He broke Praise Music in NYC before it became popular music.He retired from law after 12 years, to begin his study of the Bible and a gospel revival ministry on Long Island, NY in all kinds of Christian churches. He sang with and hosted revival shows with 36 black Baptist praise singers and broke the color barrier in Hampton Bays, L.I, NY. He says "it was God's will". And he never signed with a record company.Getting a emergency medical call from his mother he left N.Y to be by her side in California. After she died he remained to continue his ministry in Los Angeles where he spent six years ministering and living on the streets as one of the homeless, a praise singer, Evangelist and friend to the poor and needy where he performed his music and shared God's word. He also fed 80 homeless people a day from food he retrieved from dumpsters. He ate it too!God blessed him and sent him to beach comb in Northern Ca, where he discovered great abalone shell pieces that washed ashore. This would become his means of support in his life as well as his ministry, and after he met his wife, they began designing abalone jewelry. Their work was eventually discovered by The Smithsonian and featured at The National Museum of American Art in Wash, DC.He continued with his street ministry and met such notables as Ben Stein, Jane Seymour, Pam Anderson and Pierce Brosnan, Dean DeLeo (Stone Temple Pilot's) who own his abalone jewelry creations.His most memorable times, he says, were the early mornings he walked the streets of Santa Monica, Ca ministering and singing to the "Bag ladies" as they got up from the concrete sidewalks they slept on. It was also his saddest, and many he knew died on those streets before his very eyes! America had no use for them, they told him. But God did! He was an outcast by then, losing the rest of his blood family who totally rejected his ministry and lifestyle.His love of music & Gospel ministry, by God's grace, propelled Chaim into the realm of Youtube. His music, bible studies and prose writings are a blessing for us all to enjoy.A Tribute to his ministry for Jesus Christ. In HIS OWN WORDS:"I am the least of the brethren, in service to Jesus Christ and His church. Giving all praise and glory to Him. His blood redeemed me from sin and keeps me in Him." Isaiah 53:1-12; John 1:29;3:16;16:7-11; 2 Cor.5:21; 1 Pet.2:24; Rom.14:23; 1 John 1:6-10******************************"Raise me up, oh GOD, and place your hand over my life to strengthen, guide and discipline me. Then I will know that my days are not in vain and my end according to your perfect will."******************************"We are the church of sinners broken, crucified daily, in the air waves, a church rich in Him, in service to the word, the church of expression, of Love, the church that God prunes, who open our broken hearts for Him, the 24/7 church, His possession, free to express our praises to His great Glory, and that :JESUS CHRIST IS LORD!"Meet Chaim: the AbaloneKidAt: Churchintheair ON YOUTUBE
