ON A MISSION

It's 9am on a housing estate in Loughborough and, in his nice house, Dr Robert Peprah-Gyamfi has already been up for fours, writing. He's been sitting in his makeshift office, relentlessly bashing away at his laptop - another 2,000 words of divine inspiration pouring for his soonto-be-self-published tome, Flee Youthful Lusts.

The words come easily when you have Jesus sitting by your side.

Dr Robert works for the NHS, as a locum doctor in the Prison Service.

It means a different prison every week, signing methadone prescriptions, dishing out antibiotics, soothing fevered brows and wondering how all this - all these angry young men, all these forlorn drug addicts - would have panned out if only they had let God into their life.

It's a hectic job, he says. But the money is good and it leaves lots of time to write.

Robert is a fully-qualified doctor but, first and foremost, he's a fully-qualified Christian.

Eventually, he says, he'd like to quit all this prison doctor malarkey and start his own mission. Form Replica Nike Air Max 90 Boot Shoes his own church, in Loughborough.

He could reach out and heal more people doing that than he could as a prison locum.

Dr Robert wants to spread the news. The Good News. The news that if you let Jesus into your life, everything will be all right.

He stumbled upon this spiritual path 30 years ago. Now he wants to usher his patients along the same road.

So while he's happy to sign methadone prescriptions and dish out painkillers, he wants to do more.

He wants his patients to be touched, cured even, by the soothing hand of the Lord. The hand of Dr Robert, really, but God reaching out through him.

It might be the envy of the world, but you don't get that on the NHS. GlaxoSmithKline doesn't do that in a bottle.

This can be tricky, he admits, if it's a tattoo-covered convict strung out on methadone who just wants his daily hit.

But the cheerfully earnest Dr Robert insists a strenuous bout of praying can reach the parts modern medicine can't.

Dr Robert has a new book out. It's called Dr Jesus, the Doctor Who Knows No Bounds and is about the God that succeeds where the 21st century fails.

He knows how that will sound to most people in England. He knows most people here will read that and roll their eyes.

They would be fools to do that, he says. This is why...

God plays a very big part in Dr Robert's life. He was raised a Christian in a small peasant town, Mpintimpi, in Ghana.

He just went along with that at first, he says. He sang the hymns at church and said the prayers at school, but it had no direct relevance to his life until he was 17.

That's when God came to him. Well, not so much him, it transpires, but a female friend of his. Robert was so moved by her experience, he became a Christian, too. It was like Christianity by osmosis.

It made him feel warm and happy, he says.

"I was sceptical about life, the things that were happening," he says.
