THE SON SET ME FREEEEEEEEE!

by Eder Coronado (Bradenton, FL)

Since I was small my parents left me with my grandparents.  At first I was scared to be away from my parents but then I got used to it.  Later in life it affected me seeing other children playing with their dads ... I just wanted to be with my dad.  I kept that feeling inside of me but it hurt me a lot so I decided to find pleasure by joining a gang.  I thought it was the right thing to do since I had nobody to listen to.  But being in gang is a lot harder then u think.  I hurt so many people ... I really did not care at all what would happened to them.

It when on like that until I got to a point that I got tired of it ... it just wasn't taking me any where.  I  would smoke weed every day. I decided to get out of it but it seemed harder then I thought.  I was beaten up, but I thought it was the best thing to do.  All of that was inside me ... all the sins I did.

But these guys from work invited me to the Encounter so I decided to go and it was the best decision I ever made in my life.  In a instant God changed my life and set me free from my past. So the Son set me freeeeeeeee and I want to thank the Owens for giving me this chance to go on this Encounter.
