Former television cook
serves up new lifestyle
By Sally Hodgkinson
Of tff Emerald
It's an old story — a millionaire is unhappy
despite his wealth and abandons his material
lifestyle to develop the spiritual side of his life But
this one has a twist: in addition to adopting
Christianity, Graham Kerr has put his money
where his mouth is
Seven years ago, Kerr was at the pinnacle of
success as television's Galloping Gourmet He
made $1,000 an hour, had 200 suits in his closet
and was seen by 200 million people a week
Today he shops at thrift stores, puts a brick in
the toilet to save on the water bill and heads
Project LORD, a program aiming to link the
resources of Americans to the needs of Third
World families
While the Galloping Gourmet. Kerr says
"frankly, I thought I was terrific I got to be very
big on myself . "
But underneath the glitter of success. Kerr
says he was an egocentric maniac" who was
destroying himself and those around him His
daughter tried to blow up his car — with him in it
His son began drinking at 12 His wife was drink
ing, taking 12 Valiums a day and was committed to
a mental institution
Then his life reversed His wife became a
Christian and "changed overnight." Kerr says he
was desperate for the new-found joy his wife
showed. "For the first time in my life, I was hungry
and thirsty " Kerr then “committed myself to
God "
His televison show was cancelled when the
producers refused to let him place a small bible
verse in the show's credits So he embarked on a
course of "downward mobility," selling his house,
suits and other possessions in a “Christian Going
Out of Business Sale "
"I have very little now but I'm the happiest
person on two feet," he says
Kerr enforces his beliefs in Project LORD In
order to make a donation, an individual must
adopt a simplified lifestyle, not just give from
sentiment
“We are the most consumption-oriented
people in the world.” Kerr says "Americans can
live better for less He adds that giving from a
simple lifestyle follows the example of Jesus "He
owned everything, but he was a carpenter's son ”
Kerr says Project LORD recently rejected a
million-doliar donation because the donor s

lifestyle wasn't going to change
"You who are Christians are thoroughly
insulated people.'' Kerr says "You're not willfully
selfish — you just can't hear We are seduced into
more and more comforts "
The Christian church is called on to meet the
physical as well as spiritual needs of people, he
says, adding that 57 children die of malnutrition
every minute "I can’t tell someone who's starv
ing, Isn’t that neat, you've received Jesus Christ
as Savior, bye ’ "
In addition to bringing the gospel to Third
World people, Project LORD establishes "micro
farms" to help families become self-sufficent
When given the resources to start a quarter
acre farm, a Third-World family can make eight
times the income from working in the fields and
grow enough food to feed 24 people. Kerr says
While Project LORD tries to stay non-poli
tical, Kerr says any type of land reform is political
in most Third World countries
But when you re working in the field, you
don t want to be right or left ”
Kerr s University appearance was part of the
Campus Restoration Ministry’s weekly Mars Hill
Forum
Camp opens counseling jobs
Appications are now avail
able for 12 paid positions and
20 volunteer spots this sum
mer at the Easter Seals camp
for handicapped children near
Coos Bay
Camping experience is de
sired, but not necessary, says
Byron Krog, state program di
rector for the Easter Seals
Society
Paid counselors receive $700
in addition to room and board
from June 14 to Aug 28 Volun
teers may be able to receive
college credit The camp also
needs a registered nurse who
would be paid S1.300 plus room
and board
Krog recommends that
volunteers be more than 16
years old and counselors be
over 20.
Activities include anything
any other camp would do ex
cept it is designed tor hand
icapped children who might
need the assistance of
counselors," Krog says
Easter Seals will be ac
cepting applications through
the middle of May, but hope to
have their counselors selected
by May 1 Applications are
available from Easter Seals at
