| "From Darkness into the Light"
Marino Restrepo, a Colombian layman was a professional musician who
lived the celebrity lifestyle of promiscuity, drugs, dabbling in the
occult and New Age philosophies until Christmas night 1997 when his
life changed dramatically. He was kidnapped by guerrillas and held in
captivity for months in unspeakable conditions, in constant fear of
being killed. At the end of his endurance he turned back to the God
he'd known in his childhood days and the rest of the story of his
mystical experiences you will need to hear for yourselves. It's a
remarkable testimony to God's love and mercy, which has changed Marino
into a fulltime Evangelist. He has been given the mission by Our Lord
to share his experiences with the world, bringing mankind back to God.
In Cape Town we will have the wonderful opportunity of meeting him and
hearing his message. Do not miss out. Come and hear it for yourself!
