Additionally, Guy is the author of six books and his life, along with the ministry's journey, was captured in a documentary titled "Finding Guy."

    Before embracing Christianity, Guy was actively involved in the gay community until he turned 24. However, after finding faith, he chose to leave that lifestyle behind permanently and has since received abundant blessings from God. In 1991, he married Cathy, and together they raised four incredible children. Unfortunately, Cathy passed away in 2018 due to cancer. Nevertheless, Guy found love again and eventually married Laura, experiencing God's grace in this new chapter of his life.
