Summary

I was once lost in a life of crime, drug dealing, and violence—a result of a troubled childhood marked by neglect and pain. I experienced the depths of despair, including being clinically dead and enduring the harsh realities of prison. In my darkest moments, I encountered the transformative love and grace of Jesus Christ. Embracing His forgiveness, I turned my life around, pursued education, and eventually became a minister. My journey is a personal testimony to the power of God’s redemption and a call for others to experience His hope and unconditional love.

WITNESS 001: EMANUEL OUELLET

We are honoured to launch our channel with the redemption story of a man who went from murderer to minister, all by the grace of God. Finding salvation and purpose behind bars, Manny’s testimony shows how God’s love and forgiveness can break through the darkness to set us on a new path.

Manny’s childhood was defined by instability, rejection and the belief that he had to earn love. He began selling drugs for easy money as a teenager and never looked back. Then he was sentenced to life in jail for first-degree murder.

Prison is where he met the people who would help guide him to God — until he finally accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Saviour. Renewed by his faith and released early, Manny is now an entrepreneur and Bible school graduate living in Montreal, Canada.

He is living proof that God can turn anything around for His glory.

“There’s nothing you can do to disqualify yourself from the grace of God and, by the same token, nothing you can do to earn it.”
— Emanuel Ouellet
