The Daydreamer's Journey

By John Edward Oddie Sr

From gangster to evangelist, I was pulled by God through every trial and tribulation I faced. I was born in Seattle, Washington, but relocated at a young age and grew up in Los Angeles, California. Los Angeles is a city known for its gang activity, violence, and drugs. I embodied all that the city was known for in my life. I joined a gang, used drugs, committed robberies, drank alcohol heavily, and abused women. I was shot at, fired at others, and was held at gunpoint. I battled with demons throughout my childhood and early adult years, causing chaos, hurting others, and ultimately hurting myself. I lost many friends and family members. I was a lost soul. There were so many instances where God was working to get my attention. And He did He saved me from myself and my iniquities. He sent others into my life to show me who He was. He had a different path set for me.

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you. (Psalm 32:8)

By God's grace, I was saved; and throughout my journey, I have been able to mentor and share His grace, Word, and love with others.
