Advancing Life and Liberty Through Action
Mar 22, 2021
God is moving powerfully and redeeming people caught in the LGBTQ web! Angel Colon grew up in the church but abandoned his faith and became involved in same-sex relationships. His drinking led to drugs and, eventually, extreme drug use.
He was drunk and high during the infamous Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida, when a Muslim extremist opened fire, killing 49 people and wounding another 50. Later medical experts estimated that Angel had been shot six times. Yet in his darkest moment, God miraculously protected, redeemed and restored his life!
Now, Angel shares the power of change through Jesus, inviting those in the LGBTQ web to freedom in Christ. BUT, if the “Equality Act” passes, people like Angel would not be able to receive lifesaving counsel. Angel’s story will be removed by law in all venues—even by social media and web hosting companies.
Even if you already responded, help keep the pressure on our senators to ensure that the government never silences Angel’s voice and many others like him. HR 5 must NEVER become law! —Mat
Angel Colon has an incredible testimony. After he was shot five times, the shooter returned to the place Angel was lying in excruciating pain and killed the woman beside him.
“I was petrified knowing I was next. I heard the shooter behind me, gauging his next move. That's when I asked the Lord for forgiveness, to forgive me for failing Him, for turning my back on Him. I wanted to be at peace with God, but at that moment, my prayer changed to prophecy.
“I prophetically claimed my life for the Lord. I told Him I would not leave that building dead, that I had a purpose, and He would fulfill all the promises He made over my life. I knew in that moment that I was chosen, and God had something big for me.
“I promised Him I would worship Him for the rest of my days. The very moment I said, ‘Amen,’ I felt the bullet. Heat swelled through my abdomen, and I was certain I was dead. But when I opened my eyes, I knew the Lord spared me.”
The ambulance staff said if Angel wouldn’t have gotten medical care within 5 minutes, he would have died. Instead, he is passionately living his life for the Lord and reaching out with a message of redemption and hope for those trapped in the LGBTQ web.
Six bullets couldn’t stop Angel from speaking truth in love to others. But now HR 5 threatens their incredible ministry. Under this bill, they would face the choice to fall silent or lose everything.
Stand up for people like Angel who have found freedom through Christ. Make sure that in America, these men, and everyone for that matter, always have the freedom to share what God has done. Change is possible. None of us has to live in bondage. Tell the Senate to VOTE NO on the "EQUALITY ACT."
Luis Ruiz was also at Pulse that fateful night. After the last call for alcohol, Luis and his friends heard someone screaming to get out of the club.
Almost instantly the shooter was in front of Luis with each shot coming closer. Luis kicked down a locked gate, but his foot got caught, and he was trampled.
After the massacre, Luis felt God tugging at his heart, saying, “I’m giving you another chance.” But he tried to drown his memories with alcohol. The breaking point was when he found out he was HIV-positive. “That hit me hard,” Luis said. “I realized I was making a lot of bad choices.”
He turned to Christ. "Little by little, it was a process. I would leave church and go to the club. But in that time, Jesus was taking those things away without any effort from me," he said.
Luis and Angel cofounded the organization Fearless Identity so they could share their testimonies in churches and schools. They offer God’s love for those caught in the LGBTQ web, but HR 5 will kill this ministry.
They created a documentary about the change in their lives, More Than A Victim: The Angel Colon and Luis Ruiz Story.
