Punker to Pastor. Radical salvation!

Even though Kelly Lohrke gave his life to Jesus as a young person, he left that and became heavily involved in drugs and the punk rock scene. He sold drugs, he did drugs. He lived a very wild, deeply wicked life. But he could never shake the fact that he had once given himself to Jesus. Finally, he cried out to Jesus and was saved. He got filled with the Holy Spirit and was discipled. He became a Bible teacher, a street preacher, and then a pastor. Now, he has a major church in Kansas City, Kansas, and he travels the world in ministry.
