## Resource

Former NYPD officer Pastor Andrew Columbia spent years in the heart of New York’s most violent streets, confronting crime, chaos, and what he now recognizes as intense spiritual warfare. But it wasn’t a moment on duty that changed him forever—it was a desperate encounter with God on a Harlem rooftop at 3 a.m. Broken by trauma, anger, and buried childhood wounds, Pastor Columbia cried out for proof that God was real. What followed—a supernatural experience he likens to Paul’s Damascus Road encounter—instantly shattered decades of pain, delivered him from deep oppression, and redirected his entire life toward ministry. In this powerful conversation, Pastor Columbia opens up about the manifestations of evil he witnessed as an officer, the difference between oppression and possession, why many Christians misunderstand deliverance, and how the authority of Christ brings real freedom. His testimony is raw, gripping, and a reminder that God can reach anyone, anywhere. ** Your front-row seat to the #miraculous and mysterious continues in our newsletter.
