Summary

My name is Steve. I used to believe I was nothing more than an unloved tool in God’s hands. My journey began with deep painβ€”my mother’s trauma, abandonment in foster care, and the destructive environment of drugs and crime in my family. I found myself caught in a cycle of felony and desperation, even resorting to robbery. When a life‐threatening incident with a gun and a near-death shooting pushed me to the brink, I cried out to the Lord to save my soul. In that darkest moment, God answered my prayer. I was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery where two shattered ribs and most of my right lung were miraculously regenerated. Later, through time spent in prison and further encounters with true believers at a martial arts studio, I began to understand my true identity in Christ. Today, despite the scars and physical challenges that still remain, I stand as living proof that God’s love and power can radically transform even the most broken life. I share my story in the hope that others, who feel discarded and unloved, will see that God has a greater plan and that His miraculous intervention can bring restoration and new joy.
