Tom Connolly, Jr.’s Experience
-
Writer/Blogger
Self Employed
(Religious Institutions industry)
September 2004 — Present (4 years 11 months)
I am a servant of Jesus Christ and a Knight of Prayer, praying throughout the day for individuals and groups and the welfare of our world. Although currently disabled physically, I keep involved with writing Christian Apologetics on my blog as well as when and where possible. As a committed friend of Israel, and with the rise of antisemitism, it is vital to monitor hate sites and report violent content to web hosts. I work to alert people to those who wish Israel, and by association the US, harm.
