From a near-drowning at age five to hiding in a closet from an abusive man, his childhood was marked by chaos, hunger, and survival. Raised in the shadows of addiction, violence, and constant instability, he scavenged dumpsters for food, enrolled himself in school, and searched for God in all the wrong places. But through every dark moment, an unseen hand was guiding him—preserving his life, answering desperate prayers, and drawing him toward truth.
In this powerful testimony, you’ll hear how a boy lost in fear and hopelessness became a man filled with the Holy Ghost, baptized in Jesus’ name, and determined to raise his children in the life-changing power of God. This is the story of how he was drowned…and delivered.
