A Reply to: Dawkins’ Manx Shearwater
Gang Leader Turned Pastor.On May 24 last The Times newspaper titled one of its articles, How Pedro Martin Nunez found the Lord. The title and Pedro’s appearance in The Times got me interested. What a story. Pedro had spent most of his life inside the infamous El Cereso prison in Mexico - from the age of 2½ years! Released at the age of 10 and back there by the age of 16 he did his first killing of a gang rival when he was 19. Ruthless and violent he became part of the gang hierarchy of the prison. So how did he change to become a Christian pastor? It wasn’t reading Darwin or The God Delusion, this was the power of Christian witness and reading the Bible! The upshot of it all is, he is now a Christian pastor in an impoverished area revealing the gospel to other gang members and looking after street kids. Hundreds of prisoners are said to have began listening to him. A radio show invited him to participate in phone-ins, which attracted the interest of other media channels, hence, you can now read his story in The Times online.
