Nicky Cruz
Nicky Cruz was born to witchcraft-practicing parents in Puerto Rico, experiencing severe abuse as a child.
At 15, he moved to New York and joined the Mau Maus gang, becoming their leader.
His violent lifestyle led to nightmares and arrests.
A court-ordered psychiatrist predicted a grim future for Cruz.
However, his life changed after meeting David Wilkerson, a street preacher who showed him unconditional love.
Touched by Wilkerson's persistence and the gospel message, Cruz converted to Christianity.
He has since dedicated his life to helping others find the same freedom, using his background to connect with troubled youth and share his message of hope and transformation.
