Their Stories

• “By age 19, my life was a disaster. I got involved in a string of robberies and was arrested and sent to LCP.  I wanted to kill myself. But one day I signed up to go to chapel…even though I had no idea what that meant.  The Chaplain explained the meaning of resurrection and the power that Jesus give to have power over sin.  When the Chaplain told me that I could be forgiven of EVERYTHING I had ever done, I was shocked.  I felt the power of the Holy Spirit come over me.  I began to weep…and I felt a peace that I never had before in my troubled life!”  Jaime Santiago continues to serve Jesus and ministers to many needy people.
