Meet Gerardo "Papa" Pino
From left to right:Art, "Papa" Pino and Jeannine Brabon |
There is quite a story about Papa Pino written in a book called "The Lord of Bellavista". Bellavista Prison in Medellin was one of the most violent and bloodiest prisons in Colombia. (You may have read the article about Jeannine Brabon in my August 18th blog posting).
Papa Pino was imprisoned 18 times for armed robbery. In March, 1988, his life was transformed by God once and for all......look at his smiling face. His weapon has been his precious Bible for 22 years and counting!
I highly recommend all of you read the book "The Lord of Bellavista". Papa Pino's conversion experience is in this book and many other incredible stories. We have copies available here at our office. If you'd like to read this book, please let me know (donation contribution - $10.00) and we will send one to you.
