Nicky Cruz
Back to all PeopleCruz caused his parents so much trouble they exiled him from Puerto Rico to New York where he joined the Mau Mau street gang. When the founder of "Teen Challenge" invited him to join the "altar call" for the forgiveness of sins, Nicky and several gang members joined. After studying the Bible, Nicky became a preacher. " You can argue with someone's opinion, but you can't argue with their story. Nothing stirs God's heart more than a humble heart and a merciful spirit. God responds to mercy, because it is through compassion that we fully come to know Him. This is the defining quality of a true follower of Christ."
