Pastor Chris Stephens
We are bombarded daily with media reports concerning drug abuse, violence, and a generation being wasted, but rarely do we hear about those that break a cycle of death and destruction. Chris Stephens is one of those who beat the odds and won the war. He was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee to teen parents who split up when he was only three. Sexual and physical abuse was a way of life for young Chris who also was introduced to his first joint when he was ten years old. His early years were spent living in the projects and on the wrong side of the tracks. By 18 he was involved with drugs and every self destructive behavior that sent him down hill to devastation. By the age of 22 he was a heavy drug user and dealer. With an out of control, huge afro and needle tracks going down the length of both arms, his appearance was frightening at best. By all statistics, Chris was just a waste of a young life on the street, who one day could be expected to be found dead in a ditch.
