James Gang Gives Hearts to Jesus

  • It is 3/29/24. My King had me go to Colorado Springs today. My informers told him about a gang that was intimidating families at the parks in the area. They would just show up at random times and scare everyone by acting all tough and mean. My informers had donuts, muffins, Captain Crunch cereal and milk. They also had three coolers stocked with cold drinks for the gang. When I arrived at the park where the gang was hanging out, I got out of my truck with my bible. The gang leader yelled, “You’re blocking our view!” I asked, “What is your name?” The leader replied, “Mustang! What do you want? Did somebody send you here?” I said, “Yes.” One of the 14 boys in his gang exclaimed, “I told you that somebody sent him here!”

The leader’s curiosity was being aroused and asked, “Is he around here?” I said, “Yes he is.” Mustang asked, “Well, where is he? We can’t see anyone.” I said, “If you were on my side you would see him.” The leader asked again, “Who is he?” I said, “His name is “Jesus Christ. He sent me here and you know what, he doesn’t like bullies. Tell me when you were little boys did you like bullies?” They replied, “No man!” I said, “You guys are the good guys. You don’t have to be scaring children and their families from the parks.” The leader asked, “Your shirt says street gospel so are you a pastor?” I said, “I minister to gangs in several states.” Mustang interrupted and said, “And your still alive.” I said, “It’s not up to them when I die. Its up to my King when that day is.” He said, “You are pretty brave Sonny to do what you are doing.” I replied, “It’s because of my King that I am able to do what I do.”

I asked, “Is Mustang your real name?” The leader replied, “No! It is James.” I then asked, “Are you boys hungry?” James replied, “We are starving!” I said, “I need volunteers to get the food.” I opened the door to my truck and the boys helped me get everything setup on the picknick tables. They started by setting the bowls out and pouring the cereal in the bowls. As they finished setting up everything else, I said, “Why don’t we pray for the breakfast.” All the boys bowed their heads and the ones that were wearing caps took them off. When I was done praying, they started serving themselves. James said, “Sonny, I have heard a lot of people pray but I have never heard anyone pray like you do.” I said, “I pray from my heart to my King.”

James then asked, “What else do you want with us?” I replied, “Do you know what today is?” One of the boys said, “Well, it is easter Sunday.” I said, “Yes, but what happened today?” No one was ready to answer my question. I continued, “Jesus was crucified and he died for our sins do you believe that?” His men all said, “Yes.” James said, “So you just go around telling gangs about Jesus?” I replied, “Yes, because you boys are broken. You have been hurt by your dads. That’s why you’re out here. Even Jesus was hurt by people. He knows what it feels like. James asked, “How can he be hurt? He was the Son of God.” I replied, “Jesus was born as a baby. He was all God and all man to experience what humans experience to feel what we feel.” James asked, “You’re a pastor. How much money do you make a year?” I replied, “Counting like the food stamps and everything else.” All the boys started laughing and asked, “Are you really on food stamps?” I said, “No, I live by faith and my King is faithful in providing for my needs. My riches are not here in this world, but they are in Gods Kingdom.” James said, “You are pretty amazing!” I said, “It is my King that is amazing!”

One of the boys asked, “How come it took three days for him to rise again?” I replied, “When Jesus was fighting Satan, he took the light of God there and took the keys of death away from Satan.” One of the boys chimed in and said, “Just like you brought the light to us.” I said, “I brought the light of Gods Kingdom here.” James then asked, “Why did Jesus go through all of that for us?” I then inquired, “Who can quote John 3:16 to me?” One of the boys started quoting, “He did it for us because he loves us.” James was impressed. I then asked, “How many of you guys talk to your family?” Some raised their hands. James said, “I need to ask you a question? Sonny, do you think it’s a good idea to reach out to our dads?” I said, “Yes. Let me ask you this question: “If you guys would only have three days to live what would you say to your dads, moms and siblings? I think you boys need to remember that tomorrow is never promised, not even for me. How would you like to write a note to your dads and family members? If you need to ask them for forgiveness, ask for forgiveness now.” James then asked, “How about if they don’t forgive us.” I replied, “If they don’t forgive you that’s on them. You did what God told you to do. God will not forgive them, and the lake of fire is for eternity not just for the weekend. So, who would like a note pad?”

The leader was the first to take one. He said, “I am a little rusty at this. I haven’t written anything in a long time. I might need some help.” I said, “If you need help I can help you.” The boys started writing their notes. Soon all the boys finished. All the boys wanted me to read the notes they prepared for their dads. I read the leader’s note first. It said, “Dad I really miss all of you. Can you forgive me for hitting you before I ran out of the house. I forgive you dad because you’re a human just like I am.”

I continued reading over all their notes to all their family members. As I finished, I said, “God wants to bring healing to your families.” I prayed and anointed them with their notes. It was getting late into the afternoon. I said, “Before you leave are you boys hungry. They did not hesitate to say they were. I said, “Let me go get pizzas for you boys. I’ll be right back.” They all waited for me until I returned. We prayed over the pizzas and all the boys thanked me for all the food. I picked up three more coolers with cold drinks in them. When they finished eating, I told them to take all the food that was left over and take the coolers with them. They were very thankful. James asked, “Sonny, can you anoint us one more time.” When I was done anointing them and started getting into their cars. James came running back and said, “I didn’t say goodbye to you. I want to thank you for coming to us. You know when you first got here, I wanted to tell you to get out of here, but the words wouldn’t come out of my mouth.” I said, “I know. Thats because my King did not want you to say that to me.”

He gave his final thanks and drove away. God told me to wait at the park. After three hours had passed, James called me and said, “Where are you?” I replied, “I’m still at the park.” James said, “We are almost there. We read the notes to our families and all our dads have gotten help and have stopped drinking. They have given their hearts to Jesus Christ. Our dads and our families have all asked for forgiveness. We have asked for forgiveness too. Our families have asked us to come back home.” The gang and their families began arriving at the park. All the boys stood in front of me and said, “We want to ask Jesus Christ into our hearts now. We want our names written in the Lambs Book of Life.” James and his gang asked for the forgiveness of their sins and asked Jesus Christ into their hearts. My King gets all the glory and the victory.

My informers called me after everyone left and said, “Hey Sonny, that was impressive. We were watching the whole thing transpire. We were all blown away. This gang was mean, and you show up and they began listening to you right away. We saw them bow their heads to pray and sit down to eat. We saw them writing the notes before they left. We continued to watch as they all came back with their families and gave their hearts to Jesus Christ. We couldn’t believe what just happened. We could see guns on three of the boys when they were eating.” I replied, “Yes, I saw their guns too. God said they don’t have bullets in them. Thank you for your prayers. God gets all the glory and the victory!!

All the informers that were watching were blown away at what they had just witnessed.

I heard from James late at night. They spent time at home for the first time in years. James said, “It was amazing. It paid off handsomely. Sonny, all the boys stayed with their families for dinner last night.” I then picked up the boys from their families the next day to celebrate Jesus. We all got home late. All the boys are so excited.” James switched topics and said, “Someone wants to talk to you Sonny.” It was Ezra, nicknamed “Frog”. I said, “He talks just like the kid in the little rascals they called Frog “

James replied, “Yes!”  Frog then said, “Sonny, my mom cooked me my favorite meal in the whole world. We had beef and bean burritos that were topped and smothered. We had a good time.” I was so happy for them. James then said, “Ok Sonny we just wanted to tell you everything went really well. There was a lot of crying and hugging going on this morning. All of us are excited to be home.” I began to think of ways that Jesus might use this gang to expand his Kingdom.

Antonio’s Gang Gives Hearts to Jesus Christ

On 3/25/24 I received a call from my informers that there is a new gang of fifteen in the area. My informers said, “You can stop by and pick up the three coolers, donuts and Captain Crunch cereal.”  I silently said, “Even the informers love Captain Crunch cereal.” I thanked them and prayed with them before I left. I went to visit the new gang at their home. When I arrived, I carefully checked my surroundings before I got out of my pickup. It seemed safe enough, so I walked up to the door with my bible and rang the doorbell.  They sternly asked, “What do you want?” I replied, “I have breakfast for you.” I could hear the leader talking to his men in the background. He said, “I think this is Sonny.” They all wanted to know, “Are you Sonny?” I confirmed that I was. The leader introduced himself, “My name is Antonio. We have heard about you. Is it true that you never give up on gangs? Even if they tell you to leave do you still hang around.”

I confirmed everything he asked. Antonio continued, “Is it true you feed gang members?” I replied, “Yes, I have Captain Crunch cereal.” they asked, “Did you bring milk?” I never had so many questions like this, so I decided it was time to have some fun. I said, “Yes, I even brought the cow with me.” All the boys laughed. I continued, “I almost forgot. I have donuts.  They thanked me. I asked, “I need some help.” The boys helped bring in the coolers, bowls and spoons. As they were setting up breakfast I said, ” Let me pray for the meal.” All the boys bowed their heads.

Antonio asked, “Sonny, why do you do this?” I replied, “It is because you boys are broken. God wants to bring healing to you guys and your families?”

Antonio then asked, “How can God heal a broken family?” I replied, “First you have to have a forgiving heart.”

Antonio asked, “How do you get that?” I said, “You have to ask God for forgiveness and ask Jesus Christ into your heart. That’s the only way you can forgive.”

Antonio asked, “How do you forgive a father that abused you and your mom and brothers and sisters? I said, “Even the son of God had to learn to forgive. He forgave those that whipped and crucified him.” Some of the boys started crying.

Antonio asked, “I need help Sonny. I need to learn to forgive my dad. I have been gone for three years. I want to be sure that my dad isn’t abusing my family.” I said, “When you left it made your dad really think about what he was doing! I know that is true because he is getting help. Let me tell you what Jesus went through.” One of the boys interrupted and said, “He was crucified, and he rose up on the third day.” I said, “Yes!” He then asked, “How come it took him so long?” I replied, “When Jesus was in hell, he was there to fight the enemy and take the keys away from Satan. Our king was victorious.”

Antonio asked, “What scriptures are you going to read to us?” I said, “John 3:16.” His right-hand man Isaac quoted it. he said, “that was my first verse I memorized in Sunday school.” All the boys were shocked and said, “You know that verse?” He said, “Thats the only bible verse I memorized.” I replied, “I am proud of you man.” While giving me knuckles he responded, “Thank you Sonny for your encouragement. It’s been a long time since I have heard those words.” I said, “When you forgive it has to come from the heart not just from your mouth.” I paused for a moment then asked, “If you guys had only three days to live what would you say to your parents and siblings. Would you like to have a note pad to write a note to your family?”

Antonio said, “That would be awesome!” I got the note pads out of my pickup and asked, “Who wants a note pad?” Isaac was the first one to take a notepad. He said, “I know what I am going to say!” All the boys started writing their notes. I helped the ones that needed help. They were almost done when Antonio said, “We have to get going Sonny. We will finish them later.” I said, “The choices you make today could change your destiny forever. Don’t fall in temptation with the cartels or the mafia.”

Antonio said, “We won’t Sonny. Thats a promise.” I prayed for them before as they were getting ready to leave. I said, God is faithful. God loves you boys and he has a purpose for your lives.” Isaac said, “I wish you were my dad.” He ran to the car. He didn’t want me to see him cry. They got into their cars and left. I was there for almost four hours. Antonio and his men delivered their notes to their families.

I met with Antonio, and he told me that after they delivered the notes to their families they began crying. All their families asked, “When can we meet Sonny?” We met on 3/27/24 at 8:00 am. I met all of their parents. They kept thanking me for ministering to their boys and for feeding them when they were hungry. Some of the boys said they spent the night with their families. All their families are saved. The reaction from the gang was exciting. They said, “Our dads cried and asked for forgiveness. Everyone cried when they read our notes.”

They Holy Spirit prompted me that it was time and I said, “Those of you that want your names written in the Lambs Book of Life come forward.” All 15 boys came forward with their families standing behind them, I continued, “Do you believe that Jesus died for our sins.” They confirmed what they believed. I continued, ”Do you believe he rose again on the third day.” They confirmed they did. Then one by one they asked God to forgive them of all their sins and asked Jesus into their hearts. They all cried as their families were hugging them. I gave them bibles. I signed each bible and they signed and dated them. I said, “Do you boys want to see something?” They asked, “What?” I put on a mustache, and they began laughing.

You may be wondering what the story behind the mustache is. Before I officially met this gang my informers dressed me up as an old man with a mustache on. I pulled a wagon towards this gang while I was limping. I asked, ”For $2 you can have a drink and chips. Today you get a free sandwich with your meal.” The gang members thought that would be a good idea, but they did not have the money to pull it off. I then said, “Oh it is alright guys the sandwiches and everything else free. ” Meanwhile my informers were laughing their heads off as I was getting away with this prank. The gang that day had no idea who fed them. So, when I put the mustache on it brought their memory back. They exclaimed, “We knew that was you.” They proceeded to tackle me to the ground. All their parents enjoyed watching their boys laughing and having fun taking me out. They all laughed and cried.

Antonio has been gone four years from home. His cousin Elvis has been gone 2 1/2 years. Elvis said, “I spent last night at home and woke up to the smell of a good breakfast.” I prayed with them as they were getting ready to go home permanently. They all hugged me and thanked me for never giving up on them. As always thank you for your prayers. God gets all the glory and the victory.

Salvador’s Gang Gives Hearts to Jesus Christ

On the morning of March 23, 2024, I met with informers who reported seeing a new gang of 30 boys at one of the parks I frequent. They had prepared four dozen breakfast burritos and three coolers with cold drinks for the gang. After expressing my gratitude, I left for the park and found the gang there. I admired their classic ’55 to ’57 Chevys. There were nine cars in total. I asked God how to approach these boys and what music to play. God said, “Play Kingdom music.” I did so by piping it to my outside speakers. When I arrived, the music drew the eyes of the boys in my direction. I stepped out with my Bible, and they began walking towards me. The leader said, “You must be Sonny. I am Salvador. This is my second-in-command, Sylvester.”  Salvador then held up one of my ministry cards and asked, “Is this your ministry card?” I replied, “Yes, I don’t remember giving you a ministry card.”

He asked, “Do you remember Paco?” I nodded, recalling how Paco and his group had found salvation and returned home. Salvador continued, “Paco gave me this card and told me, ‘If you ever need prayer, call Sonny.'” As we spoke, I thought, “Lord, these young men have built barriers to protect themselves from everyone.” I said, “Paco and his friends have made a wise decision.” Salvador continued, “Paco also told me that you always have food for the gangs, and you tell them about Jesus.” I replied, “Yes I do.” Salvador asked, “Why do you do that?”  I said, “Because you boys are broken. The reason you are out here is because of your dads. Most of your dads were alcoholics and the others on drugs.” Salvador said, “That’s true sonny.” I then asked, “Are you boys hungry?” Salvador said, “We are starving.” I said, “I brought breakfast burritos. ” They replied, “Now you are talking. I said, “I need help with the coolers.” The boys helped me get everything. I said, “Let me pray for the food before we eat.” All the boys bowed their heads. I prayed, “Dear Jesus, thank you for today, thank you for the food and for the hands that prepared it.” Salvador asked, “Who made the burritos?” I replied, “My brothers and sisters.” With amazement he said, “They made these just for us?” I confirmed they did. He said, “Tell them thank you from us.” I confirmed that I would. Some of the boys opened the coolers and said, “You brought Cokes and Dr. Pepper. Those are our favorite.” I exclaimed, “You can’t have a burrito without a Coke or Dr Pepper.” They replied, “Your right Sonny.”

They all began eating and exclaimed, “These burritos are hot, but they are good.” As they continued eating, I began reading scriptures to them. This included John 3:16 and Jeremiah 29:11. Salvador asked, “Why are you reading that?” I replied, “Because you need to know that Jesus came here for you. God send his son to die for our sins but on the third day he rose again.” Salvador replied, “Can’t you talk about something else?” I said, “Tomorrow is never promised.” Salvador injected, “So you read scriptures.” I said, “Yes, I will always read the word of God until my last breath. Jesus died for us, and he forgave those that whipped him and crucified him.”

Salvador said, “So we have to forgive those that hurt us.” I said, “Yes, even my King forgave those that hurt him.”

Salvador said, “Your amazing Sonny.”  I replied, “It is our God who is amazing!” Salvador said, “My cousin Paco told us a lot about you and it’s all true. You’re so kind and generous. I have never had anybody talk to me about Jesus at all. Can you do me a favor and read Jeremiah 29:11 again.” After I finished reading it again, he said, “Those words are powerful.” He paused a moment then said, “I am going to get another burrito.” I said, “Go ahead there’s plenty of them.”  I began walking around praying for them. I wanted these boys to know that God loves them. I then asked Salvador if he had any prayer requests. He said, “Pray for our families. We know they miss us.” Most of the boys said the same thing. When I was done praying for them, I said, “I want you to remember this. If you don’t remember anything else. Don’t forget how much Jesus loves you and he has a purpose for you.”

Sylvester came over with Salvador.  Salvador said, “Paco told me that his name was written in the Lambs Book of Life.  What does that mean, Sonny?” I said, “We die to the world when we surrender to Jesus Christ. When you ask God for forgiveness of all your sins and ask Jesus into your heart, your name will be written in the Lambs Book of Life.”

Salvador said, “Just recently we had called Paco and asked him what happened. You guys just seem different? Paco began witnessing to us and said, ‘You’re not going to see us out in the streets anymore because we got saved.’ We were looking for you mainly because we were hungry, but we also had questions. Are you going to spend the whole day with us?” I replied, “Yes, because there is nothing more important right now than your salvation. That is more important to me than anything else. That’s why my King has me here.” Sylvester looked at Salvador and said, “Are you going to ask him now?” Salvador appeared confused and said, “Asked him what?” Sylvester replied, “When are you going to ask him about the note pads. Remember Paco said the words, ‘Tomorrow is never promised. If we only had 3 days to live, what would you say to your parents and siblings.’” Salvador said, “Oh yeah, and to write down our hurts.”

I said, “Yes, I have note pads and pens for all of you and I want you to ask for forgiveness for what you said and did before you left home. Also write what happened to you and why you left.” I helped those that needed help. They thanked me for helping them. Salvador said, “So this is what you do with the gangs? I replied, “Yes, God chose me for this ministry because I understand you. This makes you feel more comfortable to talk to me.” As they were writing their notes I said, “I’ll be back boys.” Salvador asked, “Where are you going?” I replied, “I am getting something to eat.” When I left, I called my friends. I ordered 14 large pizzas for them to pick up and deliver to me at a different location. I thanked them all for what they do for the ministry and came back with the pizzas. All the boys were excited to get pizza and thanked me for it. I prayed over the meal. As they were eating, I helped those that needed to finish their notes. When they were done writing I said, “Guys can you line up. I want to pray and anoint you with your notes.” All the boys lined up. I prayed for Salvador last because he’s the leader.

When I was done praying for him, Salvador said, “Sonny, you are the kindness man I have ever met. I want to be just like you.” I said, “Let’s be like Jesus.” Salvador said, “You’re the only one that has been allowed to talk to us. We don’t let anyone get this close to us.”

I said, “It was nice spending the day with you boys. You should deliver your notes as soon as possible.” Salvador said, “We will call our parents to make sure they are home. Then well call you and let you know what happens.” Before they left, I said, “I know all of you are going to be scattered delivering your notes; but right now, I want you to stand still and don’t move.”  Salvador said, “You heard Sonny. Don’t move because something bad can happen to us.” I continued, “I need to pray and claim the blood of Jesus Christ over all of you and God’s protection against those who want to steel your soul.” When I was done praying all the boys hugged me and thanked me. God gets all the glory and the victory!!

Victors Gang Gives Hearts to Jesus Christ

On the morning of March 19, 2024, I had a facetime session with my informants who have been in training. They had coolers filled with drinks, donuts, cereal, and milk. They had me watch a video of a new gang to observe their behavior. Lately gangs have been more interested in discussing things going on in their lives solved then in hurting me. Our prayer that God would confuse the gangs to the point where they would hunger for God has been initiated by our King. God is bringing gangs to me all asking questions.

After I picked up the coolers and food from the undercover, I went to visit the new gang at their home. I rang the doorbell, and they asked, “What do you want?” I replied, “I have some food for you boys.” Still unsure, they then began asking questions.

One thing I have learned that the gangs God brings me are always hungry. They were wasting my time, so I said, “If you don’t open the door at the count of three, I’m taking the food to the homeless.” I counted one, two, three, and as I started walking away, they opened the door and asked, “Okay, what did you bring us?” I replied, “I brought you donuts, Captain Crunch cereal, and milk.”

They asked my name, and I replied, “My name is Sonny.” The leader of the 15-member gang is Victor. He asked, “What do you wanted to talk about?” I said, “I want to tell you about Jesus because you’re broken, and I’m here to bring you God’s kingdom.” The leader asked if I was a Christian. I said, “I am a born-again Christian.” He asked, “How can you be born again? Do you have to be inside your mom again?” I said, “Do you know that someone asked Jesus that same question? In the Book of John 3:3, it says when you ask God to forgive all your sins and ask Jesus into your heart, that’s when you’re born again, and your name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.” One of the boys asked, “Sonny, is hell real?” I said, “Yes, and those who reject Jesus will be swimming in a lake of fire, and it’s not just for the weekend; it’s for eternity. All you see here is temporary, but God’s kingdom is eternal.” I asked if they were hungry, and they said yes. I said I needed help, and four boys helped me bring in the food, and bowls and spoons. I then said, “Let me pray for the meal.” The leader inserted in and said, “I love the donuts with chocolate.” After I finished praying everyone began eating. The boys were hungry; they ate the two dozen donuts and the two boxes of Captain Crunch.”

The leader expressed his gratitude for my kindness. “Most people are afraid of us,” he said, “Why aren’t you?” I offered them my ministry card and shared a verse from Isaiah 41:10, which they all recited. “See, it says ‘Fear not,'”

I then asked Victor, “When was the last time I trusted someone?  Victor admitted, “It had been a long while. Would you trust me?” I’ve never asked a gang leader this before, but I asked, “Would you take a drive with me?” I questioned what they’d like in their fridge and their preference for ‘The Lord’s Chips.’ The boys laughed, finding it amusing. I mentioned I had a box of chips in my truck to bring in later. “So, will you trust me, Victor?” I asked, hoping for a chance to talk. The leader asked if he could be honest with me. I assured him money wasn’t necessary; God is providing. One boy questioned if I was rich. “No,” I replied, “but I am rich in God.” Jose complimented me as one of the nicest men he’s ever met and thanked me for the food. “Okay, Sonny, I’m ready to go,” the leader said, instructing the others to clean the kitchen. I needed three boys to help bring in coolers with cold drinks from my truck. They were surprised by the generosity. Victor and I then drove to Walmart, and on the way, I spoke with Victor while listening to Bryann’s Christian music. Victor mentioned Bryann was in town, and they had heard his music.

We drove by his concert; he was a former gang member who had found salvation. “Were you the one outside talking to a group of boys?” he asked. “Yes,” I confirmed, “gangs listen to him, so I witness to them and pray with them.” He recognized my shirt and realized where he had seen me. I witnessed to them and prayed with them. He said, “I saw your shirt! Now I know where I saw the shirt you’re wearing today. That was you there.” I said, “Yes, that was me.” I then asked Victor, “If you only had three days to live, what would you say to your dad, mom, and brothers and sisters?” I told him I have notepads so his gang can write a note to their families. Victor began to ponder what I said.

We arrived at Walmart and retrieved a cart. Victor looked scared, constantly looking behind him. I reassured him, “You don’t have to be nervous because I carry the Kingdom of God with me.” He looked at me and said, “I have never heard anyone talk like you.” I said, “I’ll push the cart, and you get what you want.” So he started picking out things for sandwiches and I suggested getting dessert. He said we could go to the dollar store for that because it’s too much here. He kept thanking me saying, “Sonny, I really didn’t know what we were going to do because we didn’t have any money for food.” I said, “God knew you were hungry, that’s why He brought me to you boys.” I directed them to the desserts, “Get what you boys like.” He chose little things of pudding, Double Stuff Oreo cookies, and asked if he could get some Cap’n Crunch cereal and milk. I agreed. Victor was crying but didn’t want me to see him wiping his tears. I said, “Let’s get things to make tacos.” He exclaimed, “Really, Sonny? We have been so hungry for tacos.” I said, “You get peppers and everything for the tacos, and I’ll go get some bowls and a container of spoons, forks, and knives.” When I came back, Victor said, “Thank you, Sonny, we have way too much food.” I said, “God provides,” and we went to get in line. Victor noticed a little old couple following us and getting in line behind us. The little old man asked, “Are you boys in a boys club or something, spending all your money on food?” I said yes. He told his wife, “Mama, let’s help these boys. We’ll pay for your groceries.” Just tell the cashier.”

The cashier exclaimed, “I heard that! That is so kind of you; God bless you!” I replied, “Yes, God bless you and thank you.” I mentioned that Victor started crying. The couple hugged him, and he thanked them. They said, “We want to pray for you boys.” We walked outside, and they prayed for us. I thanked them and prayed for them. I then gave them my ministry card. On our way home, Victor kept wiping his face, saying, “That was the kindest thing they did for us.” When we got back, the boys helped bring in the groceries. Victor was telling them everything that happened, saying, “We’re making tacos.” All the boys were so excited. He asked me, “Sonny, why do you do this ministry?” I replied, “Because I was broken like you boys, and my King healed my heart. I asked Him for a ministry nobody wanted, and He said, ‘Then follow me. This is the ministry God gave me.'” Victor said, “Thank you for coming and telling us about Jesus.” I said, “You got to see the power of God, Victor.” He replied, “I got to witness my first miracle.” He started crying, and I had the godliest man witness it with me. He told the boys, “My heart hasn’t felt like this in a long time.” I asked Victor, “How would you like to write notes to your parents?” The boys were surprised. I asked them, “If you only had three days to live, what would you say to your dad, mom, brothers, and sisters?” They were taken aback and started asking for notepads I had for them. They said, “We’ll write our notes tonight and deliver them tomorrow.” They asked me to come to the park tomorrow at 1:00 PM.

3/20/24
I went to the park and anointed the area before Victor’s gang and all their families arrived. Victor’s gang arrived at 1:00 PM with all their families. All the boys reported that everything went well when they delivered their notes. All the dads have stopped drinking and are now saved. Victor announced, “We’re all here with our families, and we’re ready to surrender and give our hearts to Jesus.” Before I could say anything, all the boys came forward with their families standing behind them. I asked, “Do all of you believe Jesus is the Son of God?” They said yes. “Do you believe Jesus died and rose again on the third day?” They affirmed. “Do you believe Jesus Christ loves you?” Again, they said yes. I led them to pray, “Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to forgive me of all my sins and I ask Jesus to come into my heart.” They all began crying and hugging each other. I gave them Bibles, which we all signed and dated.

Victor’s dad gathered all the fathers and declared, “This is a day of celebration. Let’s have a barbecue and celebrate because our sons are coming home.” They assured me, “Sonny, we’ll be back for the barbecue.”

I started all the grills and cleaned them so they would be hot. The parents had trays to put on the grill, so they wouldn’t have to worry about the grill not being clean. The dads were right, it did not take them long at all. There was a lot of good food. I read scriptures to everyone as they ate. I answered many questions and prayed with them. all.  their family members were saved. We stayed there until dark, and Victor’s dad, Salvador asked, “Can you come to our home and anoint it?” I agreed and immediately went there to anoint their home. God receives all the glory and the victory.
