Summary

SummaryIโ€™m Mark Patton, and for years I lived under the weight of childhood trauma, substance addiction, and a 40-year prison sentence ๐Ÿ˜”. By age 16 I was fully addicted, and at 18 I committed armed robbery while high on PCP. My life spiraled through multiple prisonsโ€”each time deeper in despairโ€”until one day, alone on a jail cell floor in Gwinnett County, I heard the call of โ€˜Bible study.โ€™ God used that moment and a fellow inmate I call โ€˜Enochโ€™ 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 ๐Ÿ™Œ. Now I serve in prison ministry, run my own business, and volunteer at Christ Fellowship Church. My life proves itโ€™s never too late: if youโ€™re breathing, itโ€™s not over!
