Francisco’s Gang Accepts Jesus Christ

4/1/24
I got a call early this morning. It was Kristina, one of the twelve girls from Francisco’s gang. She said, “Sonny all of us girls stayed with our parents last night. We called Francisco and told him that we were not coming back. We told him that we didn’t want any of our things. You can donate them to the salvation army. I was shocked because Francisco said it was OK because were giving our hearts to Jesus Christ and going home to our families too. Sonny, can we meet you at the park with all our families at 11:00 am.” I said, “I’ll be there.” Kristina said, “We too want to give our hearts to Jesus Christ.” When the girls arrived at the park they ran to me. After their parents caught up, they kept thanking me for reaching out to their daughters and for helping them write the notes. They exclaimed, “Thats was such a good idea.” The girls looked different. They were dressed more modestly. As the Holy Spirit began to move there was a lot of crying and hugging going on. When I was done talking to all their parents the girls started coming to the front and lined up. They said, “We are ready to give our heart to Jesus Christ. We want transformed hearts before we go home.”

I asked, “Have all of you girls forgiven your fathers?” They confirmed they had. Kristina then spoke up and said, “If we don’t forgive our parents, Jesus won’t forgive us.” What she just said made all the dads start crying. I then asked, “Do all of you believe Jesus is the Son of God?” They confirmed he was. I then asked, “Do you believe Jesus died and rose again on the third day?” They confirmed he did. I then asked, “Do you believe that your names will be written in the Lambs Book of Life?” They confirmed that would happen.

All their family members were really crying now. When the girls asked God to forgive them of all their sins, the girls turned around and looked at their dads and said, “Dad, we truly have forgiven you. You have changed your lives and made our home a safe home to live in. We are so proud of you!” The girls became even more emotional. They turned back around and asked Jesus Christ to come into their hearts. All their families began hugging them and crying. I got all the bibles that I had and anointed and signed them. The girls in turn signed them and dated them. All their parents kept thanking me for sticking with their daughters. I reminded them that my King gets all the glory and the victory.

It was getting late, and it was time to go. All the girls hugged me as they were leaving. After everyone had left, I called Francisco and told him the girls and all their families had been here that the girls had given their hearts to Jesus Christ. Francisco replied, “The girls didn’t come home last night so I figured they were staying with their families. I can’t wait for that to happen to us, Sonny. We got up early and cleaned the house and the landlord gave us our first month and last month deposit back.”

I said, “What time do you want to meet? he replied, “We can be there before 1:00 pm.”, I confirmed the time. Time went by quickly and all the boys started arriving with their parents. It was fun to meet all their parents. Soon one by one they began crying. All the boys wanted to read their notes again to their dads. All the parents began crying after they finished.
Francisco said, “Ok Sonny we are ready to give our hearts Jesus Christ and have our hearts transformed.” All the boys lined up.

I said, “Do all of you believe Jesus Christ died and rose again on the third day? They all said yes.

I said, “Do you believe that your saved through Jesus Christ? They confirmed yes.

I said, “Repeat after me.” Samuel interrupted, “Sonny, can I say a verse I memorized when I was little. I have really been thinking about this verse I said, “Please do! I am so proud of you that you still remember that verse.” He continued, “Its Matthew 7:14. I was thinking about this verse because it’s only a few of us and we found life and we found Jesus Christ.” As he was quoting it his parents were crying. They then began to asked God to forgive them of all their sins and aske Jesus into their hearts. Their families hugged them and continued crying. I had bibles for each one of them. They walked over to pick up a bible. I signed each one of them. They in turn signed their bible and dated them. When they were done, I asked, “Francisco, do you have anything to say?” he replied, “Yes I do! This was one of the best days of my life. I have eternal life because of what Jesus Christ went through for all of us.” His parents were so proud of him, and they hugged him still in tears.

As they were getting ready to leave Francisco gave me an envelope. It was the deposit money they got back from the landlord. He said, “We have decided to give this to the girls so they can buy new summer clothes. Can you please give it to them.” I said, “Yes I will call them now.” All the boys hugged me as they were going home with their families. I called the girls, and they came back with their parents. The girls couldn’t believe that Francisco had given them this gift. All their dads said, “That was very kind of the boys.”

Our ministry thanks you for your prayers. God gets all the glory and the victory!

Rescuing Russian Women

It was Saturday and I was taking a break between witnessing to gangs. The undercover police called me and let me know about the Russian Mafia that was moving into Denver. This organization is involved in a lot of illegal activities. One activity is providing women that are used strictly for the pleasure of business men. They wanted to arrest the men but not the women. They had intel that the women were being cohearst into doing what they are doing. The undercover police then asked, “Sonny, would you like to witness to these women about Jesus Christ?”

I said, “Yes, I would like to know more about them.”

As the undercover police began showing me where they were at, my King said, “I want you to get them flowers. Get them all red roses. Then I want you to tuck a ministry card inside each rose.”

I folded my cards in a way so I could get them inside the flowers. I stood on the other side of the street. When they crossed, I gave each one a rose. I wasn’t sure if they understood what I said but my King told me to tell them that Jesus Christ loves them. I told them that my Ministry card was inside the rose. There were four bodyguards that surrounded them making sure that the women stayed safe. You could tell that all four of them worked out. They were amazingly built like those who compete in body building. When they walk by me, they gave me a smirk. But I knew deep down that they were all broken. Before everyone finished walking across the street, the bodyguards suddenly became distracted. I quietly said, “If any of you ladies want to get out of this organization, you give me a call.”

There were 19 women in this group. I found out later that two of them were actually Americans who were undercover. I do not know if you have ever seen Russian women before, but they are usually tall like these girls were. They were very beautiful. Even the women in Hollywood don’t look as good as these girls did. I could not tell who the American women were. They were trained and made beautiful to fit right in. They continued on to their destination and I left the area.

Within 2 hours, they began calling me. They said, “We want to get out. This organization is just killing us. We definitely want out.”

I then said, “Okay, how does midnight tonight sound. I will come and get all of you out.”

I shared everything with the undercover police but they already knew because of the two American women had reported in. The police had enough information on the guys to arrest them now but feared for the safety of the women. The undercover police have a van that is colored a dull black. The entire van is bulletproof. There is even a switch on the console that drops plates down that protects the wheels from bullets. I said, “There is still an inch gap between the plates and the pavement. A sniper could easily put a bullet in that crack and take a tire out anyway. You should probably get that fixed.”

They wanted to furnish a driver for the van but when you realize these girls come from a communist country. The government pays certain people in every community to spy on their neighborhood. They report back to their evil government what their neighbor is doing. It is difficult for them to trust people knowing they may be turned over anytime to the bad guys. They could be killed or sent to prison just based on what the spy says. I said, “They trust me and I need to go alone.”

I reported back to the girls what type of vehicle to be looking for when I pick them up. The undercover police had snipers in place at the location of the pickup. Their job was to take out any one who might try to stop us. It is now midnight and is time to pick the girls up. The undercover police shut the electricity down for the entire block. I have two minutes to pick the girls up before the backup generators kick on. I drove the van up to the pick up point. I did not have to encourage the girls to get in. Man you should have seen how fast they all jumped inside the van. I closed the door and we took off. The engine on this van has some soup. It really moved even with all the armor plating on it. The undercover police always have a safe place where I can drop people off. I headed there before anybody could follow me. While I was driving to the destination, I asked them if they wanted to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. All of them did give their lives to Jesus Christ. I wanted to spend more time with the ladies talking more about Jesus Christ but the police needed to get information from each one of the ladies to complete the bust. I found out with all the intel they got from the ladies that they arrested all 33 guys the next day. The ladies flew to Washington D.C. to get new identities. Now they are eligible to have asylum in the United States. They were here illegally but not of their willingness. I thought since the guys were arrested that I would not be hearing anything more about the Russian mafia, but I was to find out that was not the case.

About mid-week I got a phone call. The undercover police again revealed to me that there was the same deal going on. I found out that there were two different mafias. One was set up on the north side and one was set up on the south side of Denver. Their whole idea was to infiltrate Denver and take it over. They warned me to expect a Zoom call on Friday after work.

Friday after work I had that Zoom call with another law enforcement branch right on schedule. They began talking about this new Russian mafia and their plans. They knew that I was going in to get the girls out. They began telling me, “Sonny, we don’t want you to mess this up. We have enough evidence to arrest everyone. ”

With authority I said, “This is not the first time I’ve done this. I am also walking with my King. Not only is he protecting me, but he always gives me wisdom to do it right. My King never makes mistakes!”

My response seemed to lighten them up and they began asking questions about God’s ministry. They wanted to know who I worked with. I liked it when I told her I worked with Blue Mustang and Terry Bird. One of them wanted me to reveal to her the identity of Blue Mustang. But one of the other Zoom callers said that Blue Mustang is his name and that’s all you need to know. I began to see the human side of them as we dialogued further. We then signed off. Blue Mustang has been trying to call me for pray tonight. I appreciate it when he lifts me up in prayer before facing the gangs and/or illegal organizations each weekend. I firmly believe what is going on spiritually and the protection I receive in this ministry is a result of all the people who pray for us. Please continue to pray for God’s ministry. We want to be obedient to his calling of bringing Jesus Christ to the lost.

I made previous arrangement with the girls again to get them out at midnight on Friday. I always have my undercover Bible study on Friday. After I finished the Bible study, they said, “Sonny, something has come up. We need to get the girls out by 10 p.m.”

The undercover American women have already notified the girls of the time change. I made arrangements to pick up the van again and have everything ready at the pick up point by 10 p.m. When I arrived at the destination, the undercover police pulled the master switch and killed the power for the entire block. Again, I had a two minute window to get the 15 girls out. The van is capable of holding 21 people. The minute they got into the van they all began crying. As I sped off, I followed the lead car. He had one of those devices that turns all the lights green. We did not have to stop for a single red light.

During the whole trip the girls couldn’t believe that they were free. Some of the girls started sharing about Nadia and Sasha in the previous group I rescued who gave their lives to Jesus Christ. I then quoted John 3:16 and Jeremiah 49:11 to them. They started crying again after I finished reading God’s promise to them. The American girls that were there also began to cry. They asked, “Are you a full-time preacher?”

I said, “I am only when I am awake. Sometimes I’ve just got to sleep.”

They started to laugh as I said that. Then they became serious. One of the girls asked, “How did you get into rescuing?”

I said, “Jesus rescued us. He came to save us. That is our mission to rescue those from the clutches of darkness. We are to heal the lost and the broken hearted and those that are crushed in spirit. We’ve got to go after them. Jesus did that for all of us. He did not pick and choose. When God said in John 3:16 that he loves the entire world that includes everyone. God gets the Glory and the Victory.”

She then said, “America is beautiful but they are lost to.”

I said, “You are right.”

She replied, “These businessmen that use us are so corrupt. They treat us like merchandise. They just pick numbers and we are nothing but a lottery to them. We are so sick and tired of doing this but we also have families at home that we are trying to take care of.”

I said, “Not anymore. God is now going to take care of you and your families. You were meant to serve him.”

They then all gave their hearts to Jesus Christ. Again, I wish I had more time but again they had to give testimony to the police and get ready to get asylum in the United States with new identities. Many of the men that were supporting me at the first rescue were there for the second rescue. Many of them had the night off but wanted to be there anyway just to support me. These women were thanking everybody there over and over again. They were so grateful that we rescued them. When they gave their hearts over to God, their tears of sadness became tears of joy. The girls began hugging me many times. It was about 1 am Saturday morning as we parted and I began my drive home.

I was beat and wanted to stop to get something to drink. I stopped at the 7-Eleven that I go to a lot of the time when I minister in this area. When I walked in the door, the cashier exclaimed, “What party did you go to?”

I looked at him funny saying, “I have not been to any party.”

The clerk who was ready to explode into laughter said, “Look at your face. It is full of lipstick everywhere. It looks like you’ve been kissed a thousand times. And you say you have not been at a party. Yeah, right!”

I found myself a mirror and I said, “Ugh!”

I should have listened to what Blue Mustang said. He warned me that those beautiful women would probably try to kiss me and if you go into that 7-Eleven they are going to have some fun with you. He remembered the story I told him rescuing some prostitutes out of the same situation that these women were in. I had lipstick all over my face then. The guy then said, “I needed a good laugh. Thank you.”

The 7-Eleven is in a dangerous neighborhood. You can see the shotgun nearby to thwart anybody who might think they need to rob the store. They even have other methods in place to prevent people from stealing from this store. Even the glass that separates them from the customers is bulletproof. I can see why he needed a good laugh. Wait till I see Blue Mustang again, he’s definitely going to rub it in. I remembered when he prayed for me on Friday night, he prayed, “When Sonny comes in contact with these beautiful Russian women, make sure you keep him away from that 7-Eleven store.” Even my King is laughing at this one. I made it home at 2 am. Time to get to bed to have breakfast with Blue Mustang in the morning.

By 8 this morning all the guys in this Mafia group are going to be arrested. There’s a chance that they will put a hit on my life for what I have done to their organizations. One thing they don’t realize, my King is more powerful than they. He has protected me from many hits before.

As of this writing The girls we’re given the opportunity to have their families come over from Russia. In order to come here though they had to leave everything there and had to come over secretly.

Colorado Springs Rescue of One Becomes Entire Gang

I just got off work on Tuesday and I was thinking about going home, taking a shower and resting for the rest of the evening. God said, “No, you have to go to Colorado Springs now.” Normally, I do not get a request like this on a Tuesday and I usually fill my tank midweek. I would never fill my pickup on a Monday because of all the traffic at the Costco pumps on that day. But for some reason I filled my pickup on a Monday so I had a full tank of fuel to make it to Colorado Springs. Halfway there, I received a phone call. It was a young lady from one of the gangs. She said, “Sonny, I know you live in Loveland but could you come to Colorado Springs. I want to leave the gang.” She then shared with me that the testimony about Blue Mustang and Terry Bird and the other people involved convicted her to want to go home. She had a good recollection of everything that I said. I do remember who she was because she thanked me a lot for the burritos and the other food that I brought down to to them. She then said, “What you did had a great impact on my life and I cannot sleep at nights. I just need for you to come and get me.”

I said, “Yes, I can come. In fact God has already sent me to you.” She exclaimed, “Really!” I said, “I am already passing through Denver and I am heading towards you right now.” She then said, “God really is amazing. I just want to get out of this gang. I just want out!” I usually rescue women from gangs around midnight. That hour is when the gangs are usually asleep. I pull into the alley, the girls get in and I leave. No one knows that I’ve been there until morning. I do this to make sure that nobody gets shot or hurt. But today was to be daylight rescue. She gave me the address where she lived in Colorado Springs. When I got there, I made no effort to hide myself. I parked in front of the house. The entire gang was standing outside as I pulled up. The gang leader whose name is Jonathan said, “Sonny what’s up? Did you bring anything for us to eat?”

I pointed at the girl who called me and said, “No man. Not this time. I have come here to take her back to her family.” Jonathan said, “Yeah, she told us that she was going to go back home.” Jonathan then looked at me intently and said, “You know what. I’ve only met you one time but when you talked about John 3:16 , that just tugged at my heart. Then when you brought food from Blue Mustang and you told us about this guy named Terry Bird. I think that is just crazy.” Jonathan then became serious and said, “I think that serving God like you do is so cool. I just love that. I inturn don’t serve anybody but myself. I have been reading that Bible that you’ve given me and always ponder John 3:16. There are givers and there are prayer warriors and sometimes they are both like Blue Mustang and Terry Bird. I just laugh every time I say those names.” Jonathan paused a second then asked, “Are those real people?”

I laughed and said, “Yes, they are real and I love them.” Jonathan began thinking about this relationship I have with these guys. Jonathan then said, “I never belonged to a family. I was abandoned when I was really young.”

I said, “God’s Kingdom can be your family. His family knows you, loves you and created you.” The Holy Spirit was hard at work on Jonathan’s heart. Jonathan replied, “You came here to take one girl home. Maybe you came here for all of us to give our hearts to Jesus Christ and go back to our families. Last weekend, I went to Denver trying to find you but I never saw you.”

I said, “I did give you my ministry card last time. You could have called me. He said, “Yeah, but I threw it out the window.” I said, “That was good, somebody else did find it. Two days ago, there was a guy out on the streets that called me. He said he found my card laying out on the street. He was on his way to the overpass so he could jump. But when he found the card you threw out the window, he called me. You saved somebody’s life. God used you and because of you this man is still alive today.” Jonathan started to cry. I said, “That is the first thing that God has used you for.” Jonathan must be trying to share Jesus on the street. He said, “I love being out on the street and talking about Jesus. If Blue Mustang and Terry Bird can help people like that, I want to be able to help people like that.” Now I was starting to cry because of the words he spoke. His men felt the same way he did. They said, “We don’t want to go home unless we know the Jesus Christ you know.” I felt it was getting time to celebrate.

I asked, “Is everyone getting hungry?” They replied, “Yes, we are starved.” I said, “I’m going to go get something and I will be right back.” The gang asked, “Hey, can we ride in your pickup with you?We just love that ‘Kingdom music’ that you play through those speakers. Those guys sure know how to play music.”

I said, “Yeah, I can put five people up front with me. They said, “No, we want to ride in the back. You have subwoofers back there and we want to listen to that.” I said, “Blue Mustang helped me get that awesome sound functioning back there.” While we were driving, everyone decided they wanted to go to Little Caesars to get pizza. Everyone was still carrying their pistols and you could easily see them on their shirts while we were driving down the street. It was so fun watching the expressions on people’s faces as we stopped for red lights. When we pulled into the Little Caesars parking lot and parked, everybody jumped out with their guns still visible while we walked into the store. Just remember these guys have not given their hearts to Jesus Christ yet. You should have seen the eyes on the manager when those guys walked in with those pistols strapped on. He cautiously asked, “How can I help you guys?” I said, “We need 12 pizzas.” Then Jonathan stepped in and said, “Sonny, I don’t think that will be enough. We need 14 pizzas.” We ordered them all with pepperoni and jalapenos. It took a few minutes to get that many pizzas ready. I stepped up to the counter to pay for them. I had my card in my hand to put into the slot. This older gentleman who was standing beside me had his card already out also. He raced me to the credit card machine. He stuck his card in before I could put mine in. He said, “I beat you to it, man.”

I said, “You know that is 14 pizzas.” He said, “Sonny, it is all about the blessing. Never forget that.” I found out that this guy watched me when I was bringing Jesus Christ to the Chinese Mafia a few years back. He was there all three times when we met to bring them the message of Jesus Christ. When the gang members were riding in the back of my pickup, he realize that the pickup he saw was mine. He began to follow me and God said, “I want you to pay for the pizzas this man is getting.” He never knew my name because he only saw me from a distance. He knew who I was today because my name is visible on my pickup. When anyone pulls up beside me they can read my name. He was listening to me talk about Jesus Christ to this gang all the time while we were getting out of the pickup and going into the store.

Jonathan asked, “What’s your name.” He said, “My name is Paul. The Paul in the Bible was a mighty man of God.” So Paul started preaching to this gang. Meanwhile, my pickup was still running outside and some of the gang members were still sitting in back listening to the music. Before I went outside, I picked up some 2 liter bottles of Dr. Pepper for them to drink with the pizzas. Of course, gang members don’t use glasses. They just screw the cap off and passed the bottle around. Then they asked Paul if he was a giver like Blue Mustang, Terry Bird and Sonny. Paul said, “It’s not about the giving. It’s about blessing. Those men you are talking about are a blessing from God and you don’t even know who they are.” He then pointed at me and said, “This guy does an amazing ministry reaching out to bring you guys to Jesus Christ. I was told by God to stop here because there was going to be a man who is going to buy a lot of pizzas. He wanted me to pay for them to bless you.”

We all went outside the store and went to the pickup. I put the tailgate down and laid the pizzas out. I blessed the food and we began eating the pizzas. It was now 7 p.m. and there was a lot of light out for everybody to visit. Jonathan said, “Paul, you bought the pizzas. Why don’t you join us.” Paul said, “I would love that.” Paul only ate one slice. As we were beginning to eat, suddenly all these cars began pulling up. I found out it was all the families of all these boys and girls that were with me. The Holy Spirit is working on their hearts as they started calling their parents. They had a strong desire to go home. Soon the whole parking lot was full of families from the gang. Some of the Dads came to me and said, “You reached out to my son. I need to rededicate my life to Jesus Christ. My son is coming home and that is a miracle! I want to be the father that Jesus wants me to be.”

The families began going into the store and order more pizzas. The store was having a difficult time keeping up with all the orders. The manager came outside and said, “We have been struggling to sell pizzas at this location. You guys just made our day by ordering all this food.” This all started by going after the one. My intent was to bring a girl out of a gang. While the Holy Spirit had prepared their hearts when I previously met them, now they all wanted to go home.

While the celebration was going on in the parking lot, the police were driving by and noticing all the commotion going on. The police could see all these guys wearing their pistols. Most of them kept driving by. One of the passing patrol cars started driving real slow into the parking lot. He kept driving until he parked in front of my pickup. He got out said, “So you are Sonny?” I found out that he did a license plate check on my pickup and that’s how he knew my name. I found out later that the undercover police and other cops that knew me, were disappointed when he stopped because he could have ruined something by showing up in front of the gang. The police officer told them, ” I need prayer and this guy is like a magnet. I just felt like I was drawn to stop.” I prayed for him and that police officer rededicated his life to Jesus Christ right in front of the whole gang. Jonathan said, “Are you hungry, sir? We have pizza here.” The police officer excitedly said, “I will take a piece. I’m starving.” Jonathan said, “You have came to the right place.” Now there was a police officer eating with the gangs. You just wondered if he ever had to arrest any of these guys. The police officer then asked, “So you guys have given your life to Jesus Christ.” Jonathan said, “Yes sir, we are about to. We are tired of this life. We have a new purpose for our life.” The police recommended him not to be carrying those pistols around anymore. Jonathan replied, “We live in America. There aren’t going to be any terrorist messing with us.” At that response the police officer said, “That’s okay. Let’s just eat pizza.” The police officer even went into the Little Caesars store and he bought the entire shelf of soda pop and began passing that around. Again, no glasses were used. They just passed the bottles around. The police officer then climbed up on my pickup and stood where my speakers are. He asked everyone to come closer and gather around the pickup. The gang all started moving closer together as they were looking at each other wondering what was about to happen. The police officer said, “I want to pray for all you guys.” The police officer then made an altar call and asked, “All those who want to come forward and to give your life to Jesus Christ, stand here.” God sent him here to refresh his spirit. He can now say that he led the entire gang to Jesus Christ. He was responsible for many of the parents giving their life to Jesus Christ.

An older gentleman pulled up in a 39 Coupe. He must be in his mid-80s. He asked, “Who is Blue Mustang and Terry Bird. The kids were talking to me about how they were bringing food to us. I feel like we need to pray for those guys.” So we got together and prayed for those guys. It was finally getting late and everyone was was ready to go back to the house to get their stuff. They realized that this is it. They are now ready to go home and start a new life with Jesus Christ. And you could see the tears in their eyes as they were pondering that. I continue to minister with them late into the night. I asked, “Do any of you guys have any prayer requests?” Everyone of them had at least one prayer request. Some of the Christian parents came up with me and helped pray for the prayer requests that I received. Everyone from the street could see that we were praying. We had many cars stop and they said, “I see that you guys are praying. I need prayer really bad.” So we ended up praying for many people who came directly off the street. One of the prayer request off the street was the guy who lost his landscaping business because of the covid. The police officer came forward and said he had a brother who needs a supervisor for his landscaping business. I will check with him. I found out he is now employed there.

There were over 220 people here who got saved in this parking lot this evening. In fact, it got so late that I didn’t even have time to go home. I had to go directly to work and I got there 20 minutes before work started. But as I got ready to start work, God energize me. Even though it would have been great to rest, I would never trade it for this experience that he let me see. God gets the Glory and the Victory and I got to see it all. One of the people I worked with came over and asked me if I had anything to eat. I said, “Yes I do.” I had two sandwiches in my lunchbox and I said, “You can have it all.” He was grateful and gave me thanks for the lunch. A few minutes later, my supervisor came to me and said, “God said that you were hungry. So I ordered lunch for both of us.” Everyone at work found out that I did not have any sleep the night before. They all came up around me and prayed for me during break time. It is great to have a family even at work.

Longest Red Light Ever

I prayed with the undercover police on Friday night. After I was finished, my King had me go out and witness on the street. My King has me spending a lot of time doing street ministry on Colfax Avenue. When I reached University and Colfax in Denver, the light changed red. I stopped for the light. There was a guy standing on the street corner. He came running out towards me with a pistol and placed the gun barrel against my window. I noticed that the other people who were stopped at the light just took off and ran the light. He was shouting something but I could not make out what he was saying. I rolled my window down and asked, “What do you need?”

He said, “Get out of your pickup. I want to shoot you.” This is not the first time something like this has happened. Looking back, some guy with a sawed-off shotgun made the same request. I just humored him and noticed the square cut. I said, “Did you cut that barrel off yourself?” He said, “Yes I did. I used a hacksaw.” I said, “Man, you did a good job of cutting it square using just a hacksaw.” In the process of telling on how good a work he did, he kind of lost interest in shooting me. So I am experienced with this kind of behavior on the streets.

I said, “Well, before you shoot me can I pray for you? After I pray for you, then you can shoot me.” I caught him off guard but he did let me pray for him. I began to pray for him and reveal the things that the Holy Spirit shared with me about his life. After I finished praying, I said, “Okay, now you can shoot me.” He just stared at me. Then all the sudden, he just dropped his pistol.

He said, “I can’t shoot you especially after what you just did for me.” He continued to looked at me. He then said, ” I cannot believe how cool you were when I was holding the pistol and threatening your life.”

I said, “My King determines what day I’m going to die. You cannot change that. If he allowed you to kill me, I do know where I’m going and I am going to live in his kingdom. My King brought you to me tonight. He loves you very much and wants your heart” I found out that his name was Luke. Luke has been on the street for three and a half years. He has been robbing and stealing whatever it takes to make any money. I can tell Luke hasn’t been near a shower for a long time because he really did smell bad.

Luke asked, “Do you have anything to drink?” I had stopped at a convenience store to picked up a large Coke for myself earlier.

I said, ” I have a Coke that you can have. I also have a couple of burritos if you are hungry.”

Luke said, “The Coke will be fine and I am hungry. ” As Luke begins eating the burritos and drinking the Coke, he asked, “Do you think my parents would let me come back home?”

I said, “Let’s just call them.” I gave him my cell phone to use so he could dial his parents. His dad answered the phone and Luke said, “This is Luke Dad. I’m wondering if I can come home.” He briefly told his parents what he just done. I could hear his Dad shout to Luke’s Mom that Luke was on the phone. Luke’s parents were ecstatic that their son was coming home. Luke asked me if I would take him home. I agreed that I would. When Luke climbed into my pickup, the light turned green. It gave me the time I needed to witness to Luke. It really smelled bad inside my pickup. My King gave me the endurance to make the trip to his house. Even as Luke left my pickup, my King began deodorizing my pickup. We both went into his home where the parents hugged him. He unloaded his pistol and gave it to his Dad.  His mom immediately went to get a towel for Luke. He smiled and immediately grabbed the towel to take a shower. I talked with the parents about who I was while he was showering. They revealed to me that they were both Christians and that they have been praying fervently for their son Luke to come back. When he came back into the room, I prayed for the family and talked more about how awesome our King is. My King gets the the Glory and the the Victory.

Chicago Gangs Meet Jesus

The Chicago undercover cops called me earlier and asked if I’d be willing to go Chicago and talk to four gangs. One of the gangs belonged to the MS13. These gangs are very violent and they’re always constantly shooting everything around them. It is impossible for anyone else to go in. They know the power of my King from a previous encounter of a MS13 gang. No gang, no matter how strong they are can stand against my King and his Kingdom. They are starting to realize this when they asked for my help. My King gave me thumbs up to go to Chicago. I made arrangements for the undercover police to pick me up in Denver. The jet came for me Saturday morning at the Denver International Airport. Before we took off, God wanted me to pray for the pilots. Both pilots were Christians. One of the pilots rededicated his heart to Jesus Christ. I also prayed with the women that took care of all of us during the flight. While we were in the air, my King started showing me how this gang was going to give their hearts to Jesus Christ. God wanted me to pray for them first and then read John 3:16 to them. As we flew over Chicago, my King said, “My Kingdom has gone before you and with you.” That means he has already cleared a path for me to do his will. This is as awesome as parting the Red Sea.

The pilots yelled, “Hey, Sonny we will be flying over the the houses where the gang members live.” The cameras mounted on the bottom of the jet transmitted images to the big screen TV in the living room. The homes the gangs took over were beautiful mansions at one time. I could see that there must have been a big party. There were passed out people all over the grounds around the homes the pictures. The Holy Spirit showed me a girl siting on the ground in the alley between all the houses. My King said, “She is praying to me right now. She is praying; if you are real can you get me out of here. Sonny, go get a bus and get all the girls.” After we landed, I thanked everyone on the plane and prayed with them again. The undercover police picked me up and they gave me high fives. Then they prayed for me and asked, “Sonny, what do you need?”

I said, “I need a bus. My King wants to take a bus and rescue the girls in that area as soon as possible.”

They replied, “Sonny, it is to dangerous for you to drive through that neighborhood. You will never make it!”

I exclaimed, “Whenever my King gives me a go as he did today, he will send the magnificent seven again that went before me when I witnessed to the MS13 gang the last time. They will clear a path before me again.” They finally gave in because they have seen the power of my King in action before. They dropped me off where a school bus was. They showed me how the bus works before I started my journey. It was weird driving through that neighborhood. The gangs must have quickly taken over the neighborhood. There are skeletons of late model and expensive cars that the gangs torched sitting all along the street. It looked like the residents had to leave very quickly without having a chance to take anything along with them. There also is a lots of visible damage from all the shooting going on. I drove past a large gang carrying automatic weapons. Their heads turned as they watched me drive past their location. Not a single weapon was raised as I passed. They were probably bewildered, wondering what a bus was doing here.

When I was two blocks from the houses, I walked to the alley where the girl was sitting down on the ground in the same spot I observed in the jet. I walked up to her said, “Hi!” She turned around and looked at me. She then said, “Who are you?”

I said, “My name is Sonny.” She responded, “My name is Kara.”

She asked, “What are you doing here?”

I responded, “My King sent me here to rescue you. I’m sorry you are crying.”

Kara said, “It’s ok. I have been praying for a miracle because I wanted to runaway from here. I was praying that God would send someone to help us girls.” Earlier in the day before the party began, she told all the girls to remain sober so that when the men became drunk and abusive that it would be easier to push them off. It looks like somebody already had pushed her. She had leaves all over her hair like somebody threw her into a bush.

I said, “My King showed me when you began praying. He brought me here to rescue all of you girls.” I then said, “My King gets all the Glory and the Victory.”

Kara excitedly said, “I’ll go and tell all the girls that we are leaving this place.”

I began praying for her that God would help her and give her the words to speak to all of the girls. My King then told me, “Go and stand by the south east gate near the trees and wait for the girls. As I continued praying for the girls, the south east gate opened and all the girls started walking towards me. I had no idea how many would be coming. As the girls went through the Gate, I counted 78 girls. Kara then closed the gate. As they came near me, I said, “Do not look back. That life is over.” We began walking back to the bus that I hid in a grove of trees. The girls started to cry. Some of them were holding my hands and putting their hands on my back when we got to the bus. Now, all the girls were crying very hard as they sat down on the seats in the bus. When everyone was onboard and the bus started moving, they started to laugh when they realized that it is actually happening. They were excited to go back to their families. They started calling their parents on their phones. You could hear the parents crying and their excitement on the other end of the calls to get their daughters back. I drove past the same gang with automatic weapons.  Their heads turned as I drove past. Again, no weapons were raised against us as I watched in my side mirrors. I bet that my King is working on their hearts right now and he may want me to come back and witness to these guys in the future. As of this writing, he has confirmed that I will be seeing them again.

The undercover police gave me directions to a safe place where all their parents could come and get them. When we arrived, all the girls ran out to greet their parents. Again, they began crying when hugging  their parents. I asked, “Those of you that want your names written in the Lambs Book of Life, come and stand by me. All the girls and their parents came forward and accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. My King gets all the Glory and the Victory and has more plans for me tonight. The undercover cops checked the bus to count the bullet holes. They said, “No way! No one has been able to drive in that area without getting shot up.” They still have a difficult time understanding how powerful my King is. Some of the girls shared that they have been praying for a miracle to get out of here. Others shared that they had my ministry card and almost called me several times. I asked them, “How did you come into possession of my cards in the first place?”

They replied, “We had some girls that came from a MS-13 gang that you witnessed to earlier and brought Jesus Christ to them. They came to share Jesus Christ with us. They handed me your card and told me that you were from Colorado but that didn’t matter. Just call the number on this card if you need help.” Isn’t it cool how the Holy Spirit uses people you share Jesus Christ with to do the same thing. Those obedient girls helped prepare the girls to be ready for just what happened now.

Saturday night, after all the Girls had gone home with their parents, God said, “Sonny, I want you to get up at 1 a.m.  Go anoint the front of the gangs homes and their sidewalks. Finish up by anointing the streets all the way back to the undercover police car that is waiting for you.” I called the undercover police and told them what my King’s plans were.  They made arrangements to pick me up at that time. The undercover police dropped me off two blocks away. As I started walking, it felt like I was walking in the Valley of Death. It was silent while I was praying but as soon as I stopped, the shooting started up again around the surrounding areas. All of the homes had security fences and gates that surrounded the homes. Kara knew the code to all the gates so that I could walk inside and anoint the homes. All the gates used the same code. I did as my King asked without any interruptions then went back to my room. Early Sunday morning, my King said, “Sonny, at 7 a.m. anoint all the Bible’s and the Crosses. Put the Bible’s and Crosses on the trays and set them up on tables in front of all the homes you anointed earlier.” Then my King said, “Walk away and go pray for the day.” My King had me come back at 10 a.m. All the tables and trays were exactly as I left them. Nothing was taken or touched. I stood in front of all the homes. All the guys started walking out and began yelling, “You made a big mistake standing in front of us.” As I looked them over, my King started showing me their broken hearts. I could see their lips moving but I couldn’t hear what they were saying. They kept looking at all the trays with the Bible’s and the Crosses on them but never went by them. All of them had their pistols aimed at me. All four gang leaders walked up to me and said, “Who are you?”

I said, “My name is Sonny. I was sent to you guys by my King.”

They asked, “Who’s your King?”

I said, “His name is Jesus Christ.” Then two of the leaders recognized me. One said, “Your the one that tells gang members about Jesus Christ. I stabbed you two years ago.”

I said, “Yes it’s me and I have forgiven you like my King has forgiven me.”

One of the other leaders said, “You are not walking away from here. You are going to die here today.” This is a common phrase I hear all the time. I have learned that when an obstacle this serious occurs, always pray for it or someone. It is no different this time. I said, “Before you guys shoot me, let me read a verse that my King wants you to hear. Then I’ll pray with all of you and ask if there’s any of you that want to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. I will pray again with those guys and then you can shoot me.” I began by reading John 3:16 and I John 14:6 to them. I explained those verses to them. I could see some of them had tears in their eyes. Just before I was going to pray with them, my King said to also read Matthew 6:33 to them. I continued by praying for all of them. Then I asked, “Those of you that want your names written in the Lambs Book of Life come and stand by me. ” As I stood there with my Bible, my King said, “Sonny, raise the word of God to them and tell them that I love them and want them to go back to their families.”  After I did what my King asked,  the leaders came first and stood by me. They put their weapons away and said, “We want a new life and a new purpose.” Then the rest of the gang members came to me. They too, came forward to give their hearts to Jesus Christ. I had a chance to pray for each one. When the first one started to cry, that’s when they all started crying and asked, “Can God really forgive us of all our sins like you said Sonny?”

I said, “Yes and he will forget all your sins. You just need to ask Jesus into your hears.” I then said, “The Crosses and the Bible’s are for all of you who accept Jesus Christ. Do not take anything if you don’t want Jesus Christ to be part of your life. ” All 72 men accepted Jesus Christ that morning. They all called their parents who immediately came for them. The ones that needed a ride entered the bus I brought to get to the safe place. I had a chance to meet all their parents and families. They too all gave their hearts to Jesus Christ. My King gets all the Glory and the Victory. The guys thanked me for being bold and telling us about Jesus Christ. They said, “No one has ever come to tell us that Jesus Christ loves us. Thank you for being brave.”

I said, “Someone came to me and told me that Jesus Christ loves me too. It’s about obedience to our King.” The story is not over. Before I had a chance to even write anything down. One of the gang leaders went to his grandfather who is sick in the hospital. He took his Bible and went up to pray for his grandfather. His grandfather knew Jesus Christ but was surprised to see the Bible in his hand. The gang leader shared about what happened. He then started praying for his grandfather. A doctor, who is a Christian, was listening. He commented to the gang leader about what a powerful testimony that was to his grandfather.

Lori Asks for Rescue

Thursday night I received call from Lori. She is a young lady that belonged to a gang in Commerce City near Denver. Lori asked me if I could come Friday night and get her and her friend Megan out of the gang they belonged to.

I said, “Yes, I will come and get you at that time.”

Lori said, “I know what you drive. I’ll be looking for your truck. Can you come at midnight?”

I said, “Yes”

When I arrived at the home where Lori and Megan lived, there were a lot of cars parked there. Lori told me to drive to the end of the block on the east side of the house and they would be waiting for me. God said to be there at 11:45 p.m. because it was snowing. I arrived on God’s schedule. They saw me and came towards my pickup.

Lori said, “You are early.”

I said, “God didn’t want you to stand out here for 15 minutes in the cold.”

They started to cry and they thanked me for coming for them. I asked them, “Are you girls hungry?”

They said, “Yes”

I told them that God told me to pick up two Big Mac meals at Mc Donald’s. They both said, “That’s are favorite.”

I said, “That’s exactly what God said.”

They started laughing. They said, “That’s so awesome!”

As they we’re eating I told them that Jesus Christ loves you girls and has a purpose for them. I asked them, “Do you want your names written in the book of life?

They said, “Yes. Thank you for always coming and telling us about Jesus Christ. The first time I saw you, you were praying for all of us even though you were being hit. You didn’t stop praying until you were done. I knew yout were the real deal.”

I said, “It’s because of my King Jesus Christ.”

They both gave their hearts to Jesus Christ. When I arrived at the home where the families were waiting for the girls, their parents came running out the house. They were crying and hugging them. They asked me to come in their home. I shared Jesus Christ wirh their families. Three of the parents and five of their family members gave their hearts to Christ. The rest of them were already Christians. My King gets all the Glory and the Victory. I got home after 5 a.m. this morning. God is Faithful.

New Bible From Undercover Police

Friday night I went to Denver to read the Bible to the Undercover Police. I was back behind the stage asking God what I should talk to them about. In the next room I heard some of the undercover cops secretly praying for me. They asked God to give me wisdom as I spoke tonight. I read Psalms 121- 1,2 and I also prayed for the Undercover Police. Three gave their hearts to Christ and several came up for prayer. A group of undercover cops came up to me and said, “Sonny, we have a gift for you.”

I asked, “What is it?”

They said, “Open it and find out.”

I picked up the box. It felt heavy as I moved it around my hands. I set it down and started to open it. Inside the box was another box. I lifted out the box and opened it. Inside was a brand new Bible. The undercover cops knew about the one Bible I had that was taken from me by a gang leader. Praise the Lord! He appears to be reading it. I thanked them for the greatly appreciated Bible and left for my next mission.

At 11:30pm I went to rescue one girl out of a gang. When I got to her house, Sarah came out and climbed into my pickup. She started crying. Sarah said, “Thank you for coming for me.”

I asked her,”Would you like your name written in the Lambs book of life? All you have to do is to ask Jesus Christ to forgive you of all your sins and ask him to come into your heart.”

After Sarah accepted Christ, Sarah asked me, “Does Jesus Christ really forgive everything I have done?”

I said, “Yes, Jesus will forgive you and forget all your sins.”

Sarah kept crying tears of joy. Sarah said, “I can’t believe I’m going home.”

I gave Sarah a Bible. When I pulled up to Sarah home, her parents came running out and Sarah ran to them. Her parents are already Christians. My King gets all the Glory and the Victory!

Gang Leader Reading My Bible, Rescue 4 Girls

Thank you so much for your prayers. Last night I went to Commerce City to witness to 2 different Gangs. When I pulled up, the 2 gangs were facing each other. God said, “Four girls from the gang on the right want to go back to their families.”

When I got out of my pickup and started to walk toward the gangs, both gangs turned towards me and aimed their pistols at me. One of the gang members said, “That’s Sonny! He brings us pizza.” They all put their pistols away.

I laid the pizza and water on the tail gate and they started to eat. I said, “Let me pray for supper.”

The Gang actually stopped eating until I was done praying then they resumed eating again. I just purchased a new Bible because I gave my old one to a gang member. I read Psalms 119:105 from it to them. As I finished reading, the leader said, “That’s a beautiful Bible.”

I said, “Yes, the Words in this Bible are powerful.”

The Leader said, “Let me see it.”

I handed my Bible to him and he put it in his car on the seat. The leader asked me, “I have your bible. Sonny, what are you going to do about it?”

I said, “Can I pray for you? I want God’s word to bless you.”

The leader said, “I thought you would say that. We have to leave now.” They climbed into their cars and drove away {When I saw this gang again on 3/17/19 the Bible was on his dash of his car I said, “Have you been reading the Bible?”

The Leader said,”A little.”

The Bible had book marks placed in it. I know he’s reading the Bible because I don’t have bookmarks in my Bible. God is Faithful! My King gets the Victory!}

The leader on the right said, “What do you want to say to us Sonny?”

God told me four girls from your gang will be coming with me. They want to give their hearts to Jesus Christ. The 4 girls then asked me, “Will you take us with you?”

I said, “Yes, those of you that want to have your name written in the book of life come with me.”

The four girls were the only ones that came with me. As we were walking away God said, “Don’t look back! Keep walking.”

As we drove away, one of the girls said, “Thank you so much for coming for us.”

I said, “Your welcome; but my King Jesus Christ gets all the Glory.”

When we got to a safe place, I prayed with them and they gave their hearts to Jesus Christ. It’s my king that gets all the Victory. Their parents are Christians. We prayed over the girls and gave them Bibles.

Both girls started to cry. I started to pray out loud for them. When I was done praying, they thanked me for coming for them. They said “You are so brave.”

I said “Thank you, but it is God that makes me brave.” The girls started to cry again. They thanked me again for coming for them and praying for them.

I asked them, “If you want their names written in the Lambs book of life. All you have to do is to ask Jesus Christ to forgive you of all your sins and ask Jesus Christ to come into your hearts.”

After they accepted Christ, they asked me “Does Jesus Christ really forgive us of everything?”

I said, “Yes, Jesus will forgive you and forget all your sins.”

When we got to the house where their families were waiting for them, they cried and told their parents that they gave their hearts to Christ. I destroyed all their chips on their cell phones so they gang members cannot call them. I gave them Bibles and prayed with them and their families. 2 of the parents gave their hearts to Christ.

Rescue Girls out of a Denver Gang

I had to leave early Sunday morning. I was called to rescue some girls out of a gang in Denver. I arrived at the Mall where they were. 11:30 p.m. 3 girls and 4 guys came out and they got in my pickup.

As I was driving to the house where all their families were I asked them if they wanted their names written in the book of life and they all gave their hearts to Jesus Christ. When I got to the house where the families were, I shared Jesus Christ to the parents and 4 of the parents gave their hearts to Christ.

I have been witnessing to this Gang for 5 months and some of them decided to get out and go back to their families. My King gets all the Victory and Glory I Praise God for all of you that prayed for us. 🙏🏽
