"My name is John Stroup.  I got put in prison in 2008.  I was involved in drugs and violence.  

I grew up in a family that wasn’t involved in church.  I never met anyone that was a Christian.

I wound up going to prison for selling drugs.

 

 In 2008, in prison, I got saved.  

I found a Bible and found Jesus.  I read about different men in the Bible that I could relate to.  

I soon realized I was called to preach and I never looked back!!

In 2009, I got out of prison, and I got the fire for God! 

 

God changed my life."
