Geri Johnson

Geri grew up in the multi-cultural society of Hawaii and was educated in Catholic schools. One evening while discussing the potential of life on other planets with teenage friends, someone asked, “If Jesus had to come here and die for our sins, does he have to die on all the other worlds too? That question burned in Geri until she found The Urantia Book at the age of 20.

Vicki Yang

Vicki was introduced to The Urantia Book in 1992 when her friend Suzanne Kelly came to visit her in Taipei, Taiwan. At the time she had just retired from her father’s textile company. She gave her brother the general manager's position and began her spiritual search.

Minoo Claire

Minoo took her first step on her spiritual path as a young teen after reading Richard Bach’s, Jonathan Livingston Seagull. The story resonated truths for Minoo about the evolutionary nature of our being and the quest for perfection. Having a relatively rational intellect, she was unable to find a system of belief that provided answers to her questions or that quenched her thirst for truth until The Urantia Book “found” her 32 years ago while in college.

Marcel Peereboom

Marcel is a Dutch citizen and was born in 1968. He stumbled on The Urantia Book in the late 1980s and joined the study group of the family who translated The Urantia Book into Dutch. He attended for approximately a decade.

In 2007 he found urantia.nl, the Dutch Association website, which needed some enhancements so offered his services. After a few meetings he was asked to join the board, and has since co-organized the annual Dutch Urantia Meeting on August 21.

Gary Deinstadt

Gary discovered The Urantia Book in 1982. A friend of a friend of Gary’s came walking towards him with her arms stretched holding this big blue book in her hands and said to him, “I’ve been told that you’re ready for this.” She then opened the book to Paper 32, cection 5: The Eternal and Divine Purpose: “There is a great and glorious purpose in the march of the universes through space.” Notwithstanding the dramatic entrance, Gary was hooked and hasn’t been able to put it down since.

Gaétan G. Charland

Gaétan Charlan is a Canadian citizen born in 1949 who developed a very early interest in religion. He found The Urantia Book in 1979 while “desperately seeking for spiritual truth.” In 1987, he participated in a study group, which changed his whole perspective on the meaning of the content of The Urantia Book.
