Date of birth : 12/06/1938

City of birth : San Juan, Puerto Rico

Nicky Cruz was leader of a brutal Puerto Rican New York gang called 'The Mau Maus' which ran wild in the mid to late 1950s, before he met the preacher 'David Wilkerson'. David told Cruz about Jesus, and how God still loved him and was willing to forgive him. Cruz was initially unconvinced, but, after a few weeks, he accepted Jesus as his Saviour. He gave up his life as a gang leader, and started studying the Bible. 47 years later, Nicky has become a Reverand, and he preaches all over the world.
