Pastor Al’s history began many years ago in 1985. He was just out of the army, making good money, but was bound to drug addiction. He grew up in a household where his mother was a witch and have seen many things in the supernatural. Although he was not very religious, he believed that he was his own god. Al’s story of conversion began at a street rally in a little neighborhood called Decoto. There was a church named Victory Outreach Hayward playing music and sharing the love of Jesus in a park that was known as needles park.

What was a surprised to him was that he seen one of his neighborhood friends playing music for God. That day began the life-long journey with God. The day was July 21st 1985 and since that day Pastor Al has not done any drugs or drank any alcohol. God radically changed his life.
