Former Mobster Testifies to God’s Powerful Grace and His Conversion

Let’s talk about “amazing grace.” Michael Franzese wasn’t a slave trader like the author of that famous hymn. Instead, he was a caporegime in the Colombo crime family, for which he at one time collected $8 million per week. Born into the Mafia, Franzese would eventually be convicted of criminal conspiracy after defrauding the federal government of millions of dollars. He served some eight years in prison, during which he experienced a profound Christian conversion. Watch him tell his story of sin and redemption at Westside Christian Fellowship in California in this fascinating 1:07 video.
