11 years 1 day and Counting...Still a Prisoner of Christ

Praise the Lord! 11 years ago and 1 day, I was released from the Florida Department of corrections and was escorted by the Chaplain of Dinsmore Work Release Center to The Victory House at Prisoners of Christ. My new life in Christ began while I was still incarcerated for 5 and a half years and has continued these blessed years beyond the walls and razor wire. Today, God has blessed me with a wonderful wife, Frances and a beautiful boy Elijah David.
God has restored my relationship with my family including my father who, at one time we did not have a good relationship, but today we had a great lunch with author and founder of Prisoners of Christ, Ken Cooper. My father had read a copy of Held Hostage while at my office at Prisoners of Christ and had read half the book by days end. He had read the book in it's entirety by the next day and had several interesting questions and comments. As my mother and father are returning to New York before Father's Day, gave my father an early Father's Day present and treated him to lunch with Ken Cooper and they had a great discussion as Ken shared some personal insight regarding his transformation from being "held hostage" to being "Set Free" in Jesus. It was a great time to see God at work. Only God can bring true transformation and reconciliation. Stay tuned for more testimonies of men being "Set Free..."
