From Rapper to Pastor


Jose grew up in a nominal Christian home filled with drugs and alcohol. As a rebellious teen, he started drinking and smoking marijuana. But as a young adult, he had a difficult experience that led him to pursue God. Your generous support provided online Amazing Facts resources that changed his life. So many other souls like Jose are seeking to be set free. Will you consider being an avenue for truth to reach more people like Jose, bringing God’s true light into their lives? Thank you for your loving support, which brings healing to those in need.

What an amazing testimomy! I discoverd Amazing Facts after my 1st year of sobriety Dec 11, 2003. I went on to work for the Texas Conference sometime in 2008 as a driver in the transportation dept. Unfortunately I relapsed some time in 2011. I was relieved of my position there 12/2011. I got sober all over again July 6th 2014 and haven't looked back. It was a big lesson for me. Today, July 6th I am celebrating 10 yrs of sobriety. I appreciate hearing your testimony.

I appreciate your faithfulness to God’s Word and not choosing to follow the path of many of our straying leaders.

Such a blessing to know and see, that lives are still being changed. I can’t imagine where my life would be now without Christ. I’m so glad that you came to his calling to pastor Doug. And that you are blessed to be able to share Jesus Christ with our totally messed up world 🌎. Jesus gives hope and that’s wonderful. Amen

The gift sent was a direct result of the gift received, and having said that, the joy it brings to my heart to hear another person tell of how God has blessed them, giving God the glory, and in so doing, to show forth his marvelous works! The blessings are mine, too! Let God be magnified!
