Geronimo Aguilar: From the Streets to the Sanctuary - (Part 2 of 3)

http://needleseye.org - Geronimo Aguilar shares his story during the February 2010 Speaker Series. It's not a movie. It's not a prime time TV show. It's Geronimo Aguilar's life.
But make no mistake - it's action-packed! Abandoned by his father and witness to his mother's murder as a child, Geronimo's foundation was forged on gang life and drugs. By age 17, death and chaos were his close companions. When he stumbled from the streets into the sanctuary of a neighborhood church, Geronimo found himself part of an adventure that had been brewing for more than a decade. Now Geronimo is an author, a speaker and the pastor and executive director of The Richmond Outreach Center, also known as The ROC, which he founded in 2001. The ROC is now the fifth fastest-growing church in America.

Presented by Needle's Eye Ministries, the Monthly Speaker Series usually features business & professional people who share their personal faith journeys in the relaxed atmosphere of a restaurant or club. Visit
