Autorenporträt
Victor Torres, a pastor, teacher and conference speaker, was a gang warlord and heroin addict in New York City's violent streets. Through the ministry of David Wilkerson and the prayers of his mother, he encountered Christ. Victor is now the founder and president of New Life for Youth, one of America's largest and most successful ministries, helping literally tens of thousands of young men and women find freedom from drug addiction and gang life. Currently, New Life for Youth's headquarters is in Virginia, housing two hundred students and staff. Victor, together with his wife, Carmen, are the founders and senior pastors of New Life Outreach International Church in Richmond, Virginia. A 1,000-member multicultural church made up of over forty nationalities and cultures. Pastor Torres was the recipient of the Multicultural Unity Theologian Award. New Life Outreach International has twenty-two churches throughout the United States and the world. Victor has an honorary doctorate from Vanguard University and is considered an expert in the field of addiction. He has been recognized by many government agencies over the course of his fifty years in ministry. A major motion picture has been produced about the life of Victor, detailing his life as depicted in his autobiography Victor. He and Carmen have four children and eleven grandchildren. Their vision is to reach the lost for Christ and make disciples by duplicating their ministry one hundred times over within their lifetime.
