648// From Spiritual Poverty to Hope and Purpose: How God Redeemed A Legacy of Witchcraft, Drugs, Violence, and Gangs Through the Power of the Gospel In this conversation, Rachael interviews Jonathan Almonte, who shares his powerful testimony of growing up in poverty in the Dominican Republic. Jonathan's grandparents were witchcraft priests, and he grew up in a ghetto surrounded by drugs, prostitution, violence, and gangs. He faced spiritual poverty and physical poverty, including hunger and lack of access to education and healthcare. Through the hope of the gospel, his life was transformed, and he now serves in ministry. Jonathan shares his personal journey from poverty and brokenness to finding hope and purpose. He encourages listeners to overcome barriers, reminding them that the greatest need is Jesus.  Show Sponsor Partnership Information: To Sponsor a Child through Compassion International: Compassion.com/hearingjesus Or Text HEARINGJESUS to 83393 Additional Resources: For ad-free content, family discussion guides, journaling worksheets, bonus content, devotional and Bible study resources, and our private discussion forum, please visit our Patreon page:  patreon.com/HearingJesus Coaching/Spiritual Direction: https://shehears.org/coaching Learn: https://shehears.org Devotional/Bible Study Resources: https://shehears.org/resources Bible, Bible Study, Devotions, Devotional, Daily Devotional, Prayer, Jesus, God, Holy Spirit, Spiritual Growth, hearing God’s voice, Hearing God, Hearing Jesus, Praying, Pray, God’s Word, Scriptures, God’s Word Learn more about your ad choices.
