About Me

MY NAME IS ROBERT ORTIZ. I WAS BORN ON MARCH 2ND, 1966, IN NEW YORK CITY, WHERE I GREW UP FIGHTING FOR MY LIFE, I WAS FORCED TO GROW UP FAST AS MY MOTHER RAISED FOUR BOYS AND ONE GIRL ALONE. I WAS LEAD TO WORK AT THE AGE OF 12 YEARS OLD IN SUPER MARKETS PACKING BAGS SO THAT I COULD HELP MY MOTHER PROVIDE FOR OUR FAMILY, SO I NEVER HAD A CHILDHOOD AS MANY USUALLY HAVE. I WAS FORCED TO DROP OUT OF SCHOOL DURING THE FIRST YEAR THAT I WAS SELECTED TO ATTEND ART AND DESIGN HIGH SCHOOL BECAUSE MY MOTHER COULD NOT AFFORD TO TO PROVIDE US CLOTHES AND FOOT WEAR. I WAS ASHAMED OF GOING TO SCHOOL WITH HAND-ME-DOWNS WITH HOLES AND STAINS GIVEN TO ME FROM FAMILY MEMBERS . GROWING UP WAS NOT EASY, I WAS INJURED BY GUN SHOT WOUNDS THREE TIMES, THREE DIFFERENT TIMES. ONE DAY I BROKE THE LAW AT THE AGE OF 19 YEARS OLD, AND IT CAUSED ME TO JUMP OUT OF A 4TH STORY WINDOW HEAD FIRST AS I TRIED TO TAKE MY  OWN LIFE RATHER THEN FACING THE LAW FOR CRIMES THAT I ONCE COMMITED. BUT ONE DAY THE LORD JESUS CHRIST CAME INTO MY LIFE AND HE CHANGED MY LIFE AS HE GAVE ME A NEW HEART. A HEART THAT SMILES, A HEART THAT SHARES HIS LOVE, A HEART THAT GIVES BACK TO SOCIETY, A HEART THAT SERVES HIS COMMUNITY AND THE UNFORTUNATE. I ONCE WAS LOST BUT NOW I AM FOUND.

I NO LONGER LIVE FOR MYSELF, I NOW LIVE FOR JESUS CHRIST. GOD HAS BLESSED ME WITH A FRESH START AND HE WANTS TO DO THE SAME FOR YOU.

 JOHN 3:16

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."
