a.k.a.
Johnny
Boy
10th April 1973 - 15th April 2000
The
Sunflower Trust is dedicated to Joseph Creddy Price. Joseph Creddy
Price has always been known as Johnny Boy Price. He was born on April
10th 1973. Johnny
Price was born into a loving close knit family. He
lived
with his family in the North West of England. He was a boxer, on
the
billing with Nigel Benn and Chris Ewbanks. Travelling around the
towns
in the Northwest. Their lives have changed forever because of Johnnys
life, and death.
Their faith has seen them through, this sorrowful time, and the
Lord
gave his mother a missionery vision since 1990.
Johnny lived a remarkable life, and the Sunflower Trust is dedicated
to him, because of the vision given to his mother. His mother is
a Christian Missionary and worker. She has been an aid worker in
Eastern
Europe for since 1990, and works mainly in Romania and Hungary. The
Lord
Jesus gave her a vision of her sons life.
The vision is of a sunflower. The sunflower seed is just a little flat
bean like seed. When it is sown into the earth it begins to grow very
quickly. When the seed is sown in March or April it starts growing very
swiftly,
by July or August it is a fully-grown flower reaching heights of up to
8ft. and over. As the sunflower grows it turns its head towards the sun.
The stem of the flower is bright green and very thick, and the flower
head itself is the colour of the sun, golden yellow. Its petals stretch
out
to lap up every ray of heat that the sun has to give. The flower is
watered
profusely by the early spring rains, and draws its nourishment from its
deep
embedded roots. By summer the flower is strong enough to withstand the
fierce
heat from the sun, but its petals distribute the heat evenly on the
flower
head. Because of the sprawling design of the petals, the heart of the
flower
head is rich and full of nectar, sustaining many creatures and insects
that
feed from it. When the flower starts to wither and die, it scatters its
many
seeds far and wide. Death is not the end for the sunflower, for when it
is
harvested, its oil that is extracted has many wonderful uses. The
sunflower
oil has been used as an herbal medicine for women's hormonal
enhancement
for centuries. It is also used as aromatherapy oil for beauty purposes
for
hair and skin. We all know that sunflower oil is used in cooking and
can
be made into margarine. The stem of the flower is used for silage and
fodder.
The interpretation of the vision is about Johnny, who was just a
little boy, who was planted in the Christian faith, chosen by the
Lord for a purpose.
He grew very quickly in stature and strength, his beauty was
radiated by his aura, which was the light if the Lord shining through
him.
As he grew in years, and age, his head was turned to the sun,
that is the Son of God, Jesus Christ.
His seeds were words, which were sown into the lives of people.
Those words are the words of life, the living word of God. The words
are words of
Truth better known as the Gospel.
His oil was the anointed oil of the Holy Spirit that lived inside
him, and spurred him on to do the things that the Lord wanted him to
do,
and to go where the Lord led him. His faith and beliefs were his roots
that
came from his fervent teachings from the Bible, rooted deep into his
mind
and soul, they were written on his heart and came forth from his mouth.
Johnny lapped up the warm love that ever surrounded him and enveloped
him, and that was the agape love of God as the Lord caused his face to
shine on him.
He radiated his love to all who encountered him, just like the
petals of the flower. his seed has spread far and wide, as he told the
people about the love of God, and to those who gave their lives to the
Lord Jesus Christ.
Johnny died on April 15th 2000 aged 27 years. Johnny lives on in the
people he brought love to.
