Summary

I am Norm Rasmussen, founder of Precious Testimonies Outreach Ministry. I embarked on my Dirty Ernie Dig Dirt Journey series with creative dreams, only to face severe career challenges, financial setbacks, and health struggles. From early hardships in Vietnam and the struggles of college and a difficult work life to battling alcohol addiction and heart issues, I hit rock bottom. Through fasting, persistent prayer, and a divine breakthrough, God restored my purpose and redirected my life toward ministry. Today, I share my story so others may know that true transformation and fulfillment come only by surrendering to Jesus Christ.

WERE YOU AWARE?: Dirty Ernie has spent a lifetime digging secret tunnels all over the world, and no one knows WHY. My goal was to write a minimum 10-book series about this mysterious dirt-digging Dirty Ernie character. After writing and self-publishing the first book of the Dirty Ernie Dig Dirt Journey series, God showed up in a very mysterious way Himself! [You can hear about it in the above video] – Norm Rasmussen
