My Testimony:

Born in Sinaloa, Mexico, I am the fifth of ten children.  My delinquent career began at age fourteen, since the family was in the drug business. I robbed banks, kidnapped people, and committed all kinds of crimes.

I escaped from prison three times. I was a disciple of the devil. I consumed many drugs and became numb to everything around me. The drugs affected me emotionally and mentally and I had fear of someone or something persecuting me.

In 1988, I was incarcerated for the last time, sentenced to life in prison because of my criminal history, locally and federally. It was then that I met Jesus as my Savior and Lord.

He set me free from sin, and I am saved by grace. Jesus paid for my sins and gave me new life. Today I no longer live but Christ lives in me.

No matter your circumstances or what you have done, Christ’s love can save you. He gave His life on the cross for you. Invite Him into your heart. There is hope in Jesus.
