My Testimony

Baptism Testimony

I grew up in a home marked by pain, abuse, and alcoholism. By 16, I was a teenage father denied access to my daughter, and I had immersed myself in the gay community searching for belonging. My search for identity led me down a dark path of addiction to pain pills and meth, culminating in legal trouble that convinced me my future was permanently destroyed.

At 28, everything stopped. I spent 60 days in the hospital fighting HIV, Kaposi sarcoma, and Castleman’s disease. On a ventilator and near death, I experienced terrifying visions of hell, yet Jesus met me in that darkness, pulling me back from the brink. That moment marked the beginning of my restoration.

God has since redeemed every part of my life. He restored my relationship with my daughter after 14 years and delivered me from addiction and my past lifestyle. He even revived my forgotten dream of being a developer—today, I am a Senior Software Engineer surrounded by a supportive community. I am living proof that God can rescue anyone from the impossible and give them a future filled with hope and purpose.

“With God, all things are possible.”
