Until age 4, he lived in a log house built by his father and grandfather. His family was forced to move when the TVA built Fontana Dam. This property is now part of the great Smoky Mountains National Park. His father died when he was five years old. His mother taught school in one-room schoolhouses with eight grades in one room, and they lived in homes with no electricity or running water. Mr. Welch attended classes taught by his mother in these schools.
After high school and a four-year stint in the US Air Force, he began college, having married while in the USAF. Ten years later, when he graduated, he had four children. He then required five more years to complete a master's degree. During these years as he pursued his studies, he was, at various times, a pastor, an insurance salesman, a roughneck, an apprentice machinist, a carpenter's helper, a painter, etc.
For ten more years, he pursued a doctorate while working as a psychotherapist at the state hospital and the Texas prison system and driving 130 miles each way to class. The doctorate was never completed. Instead, he moved to Houston to work in Christ-centered acute care psychiatric units. He and his bride have now been married sixty-one years, and he has forty-four years of experience in the mental health field. He continues counseling half time with a psychologist friend in Tyler, Texas. Mr. Welch considers himself to be more effective as a counselor because he did not just go to school and start counseling but has completed four years of military service and worked at many of the jobs where his patients work.visualizza meno
