ALLEN’S STORY

CAN YOU IMAGINE LIVING IN THE PRISON OF POOR MENTAL HEALTH, RAGE, VIOLENCE AND THEN ACTUAL PHYSICAL PRISON? WELL, THIS WAS ALLEN’S REALITY.

His dad stepped over him as a baby and left the family home, and at 14 his mum was found dead on the sofa.

He wanted to become a machine and be violent in order to ward people off. He surrounded himself with tough men. Desiring to be feared, he would strike out first so that people were kept at a distance because – inside - he was still a frightened, lost little boy. This led him to the world of drugs and crime.

He served seven sentences over twenty years. In prison he went to the chapel and was convicted of the man he had become. He asked God to show him if He was real by placing a white dove on his windowsill, instead of all the pigeons he saw daily. The next morning the pigeons flew away and a white dove was sat there! Inmates thought he had gone mad when he ran out of the cell exclaiming “There is a God!” God met him with such simplicity.

He said sorry to God for all he had done wrong and the people he had hurt. After reading a book by Joyce Meyer where she lay all the abuse she had experienced at the feet of Jesus, Allen felt compelled to do the same and he physically gathered this ball of rage, imagined Jesus on the cross and lay it at his feet. It was like his heart had woken up! He had peace.

His life had been totally transformed by Jesus!
