?Back to CYA on a Mission? plus articles and information on Inspirational Six former wards came back to the California Youth Authority (CYA) earlier this month. This time they volunteered to return. They were on a mission to deliver a message to the wards at N.A. Chaderjian Youth Correctional Facility nike roshe flyknit black , which houses California's most violent youth offenders ages 18-24. The diverse panel of ex-convicts purposefully stepped through the fences of Chaderjian as law-abiding citizens. They each wore visitor's passes clipped on their shirts and security alarms attached to their belts for their safety in the event that a riot "kicked off". Once inside the razor wired fence, I observed the former wards, some who were once rival gang enemies, hugging, exchanging phone numbers and sharing personal family photos with each other. Meanwhile, a large group of heavily guarded and structured wards were being escorted on to the dim, sky lit, concrete gym floor. The CYA alumni's immediately began greeting the wards with warm smiles and hand shakes. Once seated, Chaplain Carlton McAllister, a CYA alumnus, introduced the panel and offered a faith filled prayer and a joyful song of praise. As I scanned the audience, I observed many of the wards staring at the panel speakers during the song, appearing to wonder what the panel members were about and what they had e to say. "You need to stop being punks, anyone can run behind a gang, but it takes a real man to live for Christ and to stand alone." A quiet hush fell over the gymnasium. You could have heard a prison-made cuff-key drop nike roshe red and white , as Levon Davis, now also known as Dr. Levon Davis shot these words toward wards with a force that captured their attention. Dr. Davis, a once harden criminal convicted for a double murder stood before the audience of offenders a transformed man who presented a bold, thought provoking, and inspirational message. "If it es down to you and your friends, your friends are going to snitch you off. They ain't going to take the blame for you," Davis said confidently and boldly. Some of the audience members snickered, while others nodded their heads in agreement. "Why hold loyalty to someone who is not going to be loyal to you? When it es down to it, the only thing that is really stable, that will get behind you, is God. Christ is the Answer." Davis spoke these words with conviction and from experience. Davis has had experiences that have now distinguished him from his past life style and previous mistakes. He has excelled since his release almost 10 years ago from the CYA and is a rehabilitated man, a scholar in his own right. Davis earned his PhD in counseling, is president and founder of Blessed Faith Bible College, which is aredited to the doctorate degree, he owns and operates a Christian music production pany white nike roshe run womens , and if that isn't enough, he is a devoted husband and pastor of Blesses Faith church in Sacramento, California. He has e a long way from the cellblocks he was confined to over 10 years ago and the reality of his life is that his new beginning was initiated behind the bars of the CYA. Davis told the audience that he took advantage of every vocational program offered to him at the CYA and in addition, he enrolled in a correspondence college while serving his sentence. Davis credits the CYA and his strong faith in God for his suessful transition into society. The CYA provided him with the resources and opportunities to sueed, and it took his initiative and mitment to turn those opportunities into reality. Another suess story and former guest of the CYA was Noel Patillo, son of celebrity gospel artist, Leon Patillo. This former ward also had a word for the wards, which he municated, in part, through rap. His artistic flavor and talent got the spirit moving throughout the gymnasium, and the audience was tapping their feet and bobbing their heads. His words were profound and chillingly descriptive. "My parents were separated, my dad was always on the road, and mom was a dope dealer. I grew up in a dope house," said Patillo. In a private interview he told me that his dad always told him that he needed to "get it right" because God had something for him. Patillo, a former Bay Area gang member who was incarcerated for attempted murder believed his path on the straight and narrow came in a round about way. "God kind of tricked me in to getting saved nike roshe blue men ," said Patillo. He confessed that initially his interest in going to church was more so an interest in the opportunity to see the women who would oasionally volunteer in the institutional chapel service rather than an interest in God. This passionate interest eventually led to Patillo's exposure to a man from an outreach ministry who began to speak the Word into his life. Patillo stated that the man ministered the Gospel of Jesus Christ to him for three consecutive days, and on the third day, the man said the sinner's prayer with him. "I felt a change at that moment. I no longer wanted to fight, because I was always mad. I was angry, because I was locked up, because I took a rap for my cousin. Even though I aepted Christ in my heart, I was still riding with the Bay Area, but my heart wasn't in it. I finally got some courage, and I just told them I wasn't ridin' no more. I was going to do my program and take care of my kids." After his amazing transformation, another miracle took place in Patillo's life, the miracle of his mother receiving Christ and him being the person to lead her through the prayer of salvation. "She was up visiting and God had been talking to me for a couple of months about this new life he gave me, and I said okay. That week she came up there, I brought my Bible with me, and I took her to Romans 10:9 - If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God r
