Summary

SummaryI’m Mark Patton, and for years I lived under the weight of childhood trauma, substance addiction, and a 40-year prison sentence πŸ˜”. By age 16 I was fully addicted, and at 18 I committed armed robbery while high on PCP. My life spiraled through multiple prisonsβ€”each time deeper in despairβ€”until one day, alone on a jail cell floor in Gwinnett County, I heard the call of β€˜Bible study.’ God used that moment and a fellow inmate I call β€˜Enoch’ to draw me into His Word. Through the Prayer of Jabez and Scriptures wrapped around my heart, I experienced true redemption. He even healed my hepatitis C without medication πŸ™Œ. Now I serve in prison ministry, run my own business, and volunteer at Christ Fellowship Church. My life proves it’s never too late: if you’re breathing, it’s not over!
