About this listen

Buddy Osborne describes the pivotal moment that changed his ministry focus from the prison block to the street block. While volunteering in the House of Correction, a heartbreaking conversation with juvenile inmates solidified his mission for prevention. After a tragic experience with a young boxer he trained, Buddy realized he needed to integrate faith with his athletic passion. He shares the miraculous, immediate launch of Rock Ministries using boxing as "bait" to draw kids in for Bible study and tells the powerful, multigenerational story of one of the ministry's first successes: Johnny Rivera and his championship-winning son.
