Name: Colin Mclaren Title: Assistant Pastor Contact: info Bio: Between the age 14- 24 I had got involved in crimes such as Burglary, Robbery, Fraud, Arson, driving offences and Selling crack cocaine, heroine and various other drugs. During this period I was sentenced on three occasions to prison sentences. When I was 19 I started to take crack cocaine, cannabis and drink alcohol every day. My life was a mess, I thought life was just about money. I got to a place where everything started to fragment in my life. In January 2001 when I was 24, I was invited to the Potters House Church, during my attendance at a service I decided to surrender my life to God. I received great support and encouragement from my Pastor and the members of the congregation. I had a court case pending and I was told by my Barrister that the minimum sentence would be 3 years, I continued to attend church during the trial. At the end of the trial I was given a probation sentence and a fine. The church then helped me to stop smoking crack cocaine, other drugs and drinking alcohol. I got a job and begin to earn an honest living, within two years I got married and then we had 3 children. After 9 years of being in church I was ordained a Pastor. I am currently a Pastor and I thank God for the Potters House church. |
