Summary

SummaryI was consumed by vengeance, rising through a paramilitary group with bullets in hand, until God’s mercy found me behind prison walls.

Now, redeemed and called by His grace, I serve as a pastor in Colombia, living proof that no past is too stained for His transforming love. πŸ™βœοΈ
