Raul

Raul's story shows that there is truly "victory in Jesus." It is a positive expression of the power of the gospel for those who are ensnared, abusing their body through drugs. With so many in our nation needing help and hope, this book is timely....I could hardly put the manuscript down.

 Senior Crusade Director
 Director of Counseling and Follow-up Billy Graham Evangelistic Association Bishop González first came to Hartford, CT in 1971 to help start Youth Challenge, a faith-based residential drug free program for men and women. In 1974, Bishop González became the Executive Director of Youth Challenge of Connecticut, Inc. He also served as the President of Youth Challenge International, providing leadership in the establishment and oversight of missions in Florida, Puerto Rico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Venezuela, Dominican Republic, Kenya and Peru. Bishop González had a shepherd's heart. His vision for the City was evident in that he, along with Pastor Willie, founded and pastored Glory Chapel International Cathedral in Hartford since 1979. Bishop was the founder and President of the Corinthian School of Urban Ministry in Hartford, CT, and President of the Board of Directors for Youth Challenge International School of Ministry, Wildwood, FL, all functioning under the biblical mandate expressed by the Lord Jesus Christ in Luke 4:18-19, "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.. Through Bishop Raúl and Lady Willie's ministry of deliverance, thousands of drug addicts, both men and women have been set free. May all the glory and honor go to the Lord Jesus Christ!
