Roger Oakland is a former biology teacher and fervent evolutionist who in time, after a long struggle with faith and personal tragedy, surrendered his life to Jesus Christ. His conversion is recounted in the book, "Let There Be Light," written by Oakland and Dan Wooding. Oakland currently heads Understand the Times, International - an international ministry dedicated to monitoring the news from a Biblical perspective and exposing apostasy in the churches of the world. He travels globally as a lecturer and evangelist, including recent efforts to bring the Gospel to the predominantly-Buddhist and impoverished nation of Myanmar. He is also a widely-published author.
