Summary

I grew up in a black church without a father, surrounded by women and plagued by peer rejection and early abuse. This left me confused about my sexuality and manhood. After years of inner turmoil and destructive behavior, a close friend invited me to his church where I experienced the life-changing touch of the Holy Spirit. In that moment, I gave my life to Jesus Christ, left behind the homosexual lifestyle, and embraced a new identity of redemption and restoration. I now testify that through Jesus, true healing and transformation are possible.
