Summary

I grew up in a tough neighborhood in Australia, where gang culture and violence were the norm. I was involved in gangs, engaging in illegal activities like graffiti and stealing cars to survive. Throughout my life, I faced numerous near-death situations and witnessed friends dying or overdosing. These circumstances led me to question my faith and seek answers beyond my troubled lifestyle. One day, while helping out at my church, I experienced a profound moment of worship that stirred something deep inside me. Despite feeling uncomfortable and out of place, this experience made me realize the reality of God. Later, after surviving a near-fatal accident, I finally decided to give my life to Jesus. This radical born-again experience transformed me from the inside out, changing my motives and convictions. Now, I serve as a leader within the church, helping others in my former gang community find their way to faith in Jesus. My journey is a testament to God’s power to transform lives, and I continue to trust in Him every day.
