Notorious gang leader now preaches Jesus: ‘I’m a radical soldier for God’

[Johnboy60]

Rene Martinez spent the majority of his life in and out of jail, breaking into homes, stealing guns, dealing drugs, and getting into fights.

But today, the former gang leader, 44, better known as "Level" found a new calling preaching, praying, and baptizing others in the name of Jesus as he seeks to save them from the life he once knew all too well. The Miami Dade County native has traveled from Los Angeles to the Bronx, and he's just getting started.

Absolutely. Happened with Niki Cruz back in the 1950s.

Quite an interesting story .
Thanks for sharing Johnboy53.
He once was a slave and served sin.
Now he is saved and serves the Saviour.
God's grace is absolutely amazing.
He never ceases to amaze me with His love and mercy.
I pray that the Lord continues to make him a vessel of honor.

All glory be to God now and forever.
