I looked older too. So, finally my dad came to me and said, "boy, I know what you're doing. You have got to make a choice. You can either stay in this house without drugs, or you've got to leave". I left before my 16th birthday. A lot of Christian people think my dad was wrong, I think it was the best thing. Well, I started selling a lot of drugs. I was trafficking hundreds of thousands worth of drugs.
Before I knew it, I was a first-class thug and criminal. Until I was in my 20s and I was involved in a bar room fight. It was the worst fight I was ever in in my life. People were stabbed and shot. That night, I saw people on the ground crying and I knew that night, something was going to kill me.

All I knew was that I needed to move and I needed to find new friends, so that's exactly what I did. Yeah, my wife had started to go to church. For about two years she kept asking me to go with her.

He and his team came across an area where many had lost their lives. And death was no respecter of persons here. These landmines were designed to cripple, not kill. With the stench of death in the air and corpses all around, Sam found the body of a child. The lower half was just gone. As Sam stood over the child, unable to look away, tears filled his eyes, and he made a vow to the Lord.
