They remind us that hope is not theoretical— it’s a Person. And He is still writing redemption into the lives of Hischildren. Hope has a story, so come and hear the testimoniesthat call hearts home to JESUS. — Testimony at the Christian Market Gathering In this powerful testimony, recorded live at the Christian Market Gathering, you’ll hear from a man whose life is a living picture of redemption. A graduate and success story from Adult & Teen Challenge of Texas — whose motto is “Freedom from addiction starts here” — he shares how God rescued him from a cycle of addiction, overdoses, and despair. Raised in a Christian home in the Bronx by a single mother, he chased money, status, and the streets, only to find himself empty, broken, and running on a hamster wheel that led nowhere. At just 23, a stroke should have been his wake‑up call… but it wasn’t. He continued using, continued overdosing, continued spiraling — until one night, in desperation, he cried out to God.
