SICK AND READY TO DIE AND FREE 09:56 FROM PRISON FOR 12 YEARS. I WENT TO TREATMENT AND THE 10:00 MEDICAL DOCTORS TOLD ME I NEED METHADONE AND I NEED THIS STUFF. 10:04 I HAD BEEN ON DRUGS A LOT SINCE I WAS A CHILD BECAUSE I WAS 10:12 DISFUNCTIONAL. 20 YEARS AGO I ASKED JESUS TO 10:15 HELP ME. I GOT OUT ON A FRDAY EVENING. 10:18 THE NEXT DAY WE BEGIN TO GO TO CHURCH. 10:22 IT WAS THE PASTORS IDEA TO VISIT THOSE PEOPLE IN THE LOCAL COUNTY 10:27 JAIL.

SOMEHOW, I HAD A GOOD CHILDHOOD 10:55 I COULD REMEMBER. WHEN OLD ENOUGH TO START 11:01 STEALING. I STARTED AT A YOUNG AGE.-@I BROUGHT MY FIRST PACK OF AS WE 11:08 CIGARETTES BEFORE I WAS IN THE FIRST GRADE. 11:11 THEY WERE 35 CENTS A PACK. I WOULD SELL THEM FOR A NICKEL A 11:17 PIECE. I WAS TRYING TO SELL THEM AT A 11:20 CHRISTIAN SCHOOL. MOM WORKED TWO JOBS AND PUT ME 11:25 THROUGH A CHRISTIAN EDUCATION. I DIDN'T GET ANYTHING ABOUT 11:28 CHRIST. I WAS KICKED OUT OF EVERY 11:31 SCHOOL. I WAS A VERY DISFUNCTIONAL YOUNG-CHILD. 11:35 THE PSYCHIATRIST SAID I WOULD HAVE TO BE ON MEDICATION FOR MY 11:40 LIFE. MOM DIDN'T KNW WHAT TO DO WITH 11:43 ME. SHE WAS RAISING FOUR CHILDREN. 11:49 DAD WAS THERE. I WAS DISFUNCTIONAL. 11:52 EVERY CHILD GOES THROUGH THAT STAGE. 11:54 IT STARTS IN THE HIGHCHAIR. EVERY CHILD BEGINS THAT, YOU 11:58 KNOW, IT'S CALLED SIN WE ARE ALL BORN WITH. 12:04 WE ARE NOT DRUG ADDICTS, MURDERERS, OR ALCOHOLICS. 12:11 WE ARE BORN WITH A PROBLEM AND WE ACT OUT ON THESE THINGS THAT 12:16 OUR NATION LOOKS AT AS ATROCITIES. 12:19 THEY SAY, IT'S JUST TERRIBLE. LOOK AT THE WHOLE CULTURE. 12:26 THAT'S WHY WE NEED JESUS. IN PRISON WE NEED JESUS. 12:30 >> UH-HUH. >> IT'S INTERESTING WHN YOU SEE 12:33 THESE CRIMES COMMITTED THE FIRST THING YOU SEE ON THE MEDIA OR 12:38 NEWS THEY TRY TO DEHUMANIZE PEOPLE. 12:45 THESE ARE HUMAN BEINGS. THEY MADE MISTAKES AND POOR 12:49 CHOICES THESE ARE STILL HUMAN BEINGS. 12:53 HOW DID YOUR FAMILY REACT WHEN YOU WERE GOING THROUGH SUCH A 12:58 TOUGH SITUATION? >> THOSE ARE THE ONLY LETTERS 13:01 YOU GET ARE FROM MOM AND GRANDMA. 13:04 WHEN YOU ARE DOWN AND OUT IT'S MOM. 13:07 AT 13, 14 YEARS OLD I REMEMBER COMING IN LATE AT NIGHT. 13:11 I HAD BEEN USING DRUGS AND DRINKING. 13:16 I WOULD LOOK IN MY MOMS ROOM TO SEE IF SHE WAS UP. 13:20 SHE WAS ON HER KNEES BY HER BED WITH HER BIBLE OPEN CLAIMING 13:27 GOD'S PROMISES FOR CHILDREN. THEY NEVER GO UNHEARD. 13:33 >> I'M AN LIVING WITNESS TO THAT. 13:36 >> PRAISE THE LORD. >> PRAISE THE LORD. 13:38 MY MOTHER NEVER LIVED LONG ENOUGH TO SEE THE CHANGES IN MY 13:43 LIFE. >> WHAT A REUNION THAT WILL BE. 13:47 >> PRAISE THE LORD. >> YES, WHEN WE GET THERE AND 13:50 SHE FINDS OUT ABOUT WHAT YOU DID TO HELP OTHERS TO GET THERE HOW-PROUD SHE WILL BE. 13:57 >> IT'S AMAZING THERE ARE OTHER MOTHERS PRAYING FOR THEIR 14:02 CHILDREN IN PRISON.

IT WAS YESTERDAY MORNING WE 14:19 DELIVERED AN SEMILOAD OF WATERMELON TO THE PRISON WHERE I 14:23 WAS IN PRISON. IS A PIECE OF WATERMELON GOING 14:28 TO CHANGE THEIR LIFE BUT JESUS SENT LOADS OF BREAD AND FISHES. 14:35 SOME HAD BEEN IN PRISON FOR YEARS AND NEVER HAD A 14:39 WATERMELON. IT'S AS SIMPLE OF THAT. 14:42 IT DOESN'T HAVE TO DO WITH CREATION MAGAZINE BUT A GIFT IS 14:47 INVOLVED THERE. >> IT WILL BE EXCITING TO GET TO 14:51 HEAVEN AND SEE PEOPLE COME UP TO YOU AND SAY I REMEMBER THAT 14:59 CHRISTMAS BEHIND BARS. NO ONE SHOWED ME LOVE. 15:02 NO ONE ELSE POURED INTO MY LIFE. I REMEMBER CHRISTMAS BEHIND BARS 15:09 COMING IN AND VOLUNTEERING. THEY WEREN'T PAID TO BE THERE 15:13 BUT VOLUNTEERED.
