Show Summary:
Yuri’s mother and grandmother worked hard to instill Jesus and good principles into his life at a young age. But when he went to spend some time with his dad, he was introduced to a lifestyle that would set him on a course to receive 50 years in prison. But it was during that prison time that Yuri ran into the love of Jesus through prison volunteers, and traded in Crips for Christ.
This interview was fun knowing that we were right next to the Frio River on seven beautiful acres with lots of wildlife. We even saw some deer on the property. At one time I got a pic that had a hummingbird, a squirrel, several deer, and a regular bird as well.
To talk to Yuri now, it’s really hard to see in him the dark past he shares with us in this episode. You can just feel the anointing of God on his life. You can see the joy, humility, and favor of God all around him. I got to meet his beautful bride and his awesome father-in-law.
Yuri is another example of how God can take our broken lives and turn them into something powerful for his Kingdom. God can redeem our past and use it to help turn others around.
