From Kidnapped to Converted (Part 1)

from Be BOLD Branding Hosted by BrandFace

Some stories can only begin under pressure. Alfonso Vidal grew up in Caracas, Venezuela — and watched his country slide from prosperity into socialist collapse. But nothing could have prepared him for what happened on a fishing trip near the Colombian border, where he was kidnapped by guerrillas and held for eleven days. What happened during those eleven days changed everything — not just his circumstances, but his soul. Alfonso arrived in the United States with little more than the faith that was born in captivity and an unshakable belief in what free people can build. In Part 1, Alfonso takes us inside the kidnapping, the conversion that followed, and the journey that brought him and his wife to American soil — and eventually to a place they would proudly call home.
