A product of the radical 60’s and 70’s, my life as a Black Panther was marked by drugs, alcohol, street crime and violence. Arrested and imprisoned more than a half- dozen times eventually led to my faith in Islam. However, the void inside remained … until I stepped into an Apostolic church and felt a power greater than drugs, guns and violence. God delivered me and filled me with the Holy Ghost. I now hold General License and assist Pastor Daniel Smelser at Life Challenge UPC in Odessa, Texas. Rev. James Barnes, CPF Western Zone Coordinator
