Freddie Martinez is from San Bernardino, CA and was raised by a single mother his whole life. Due to struggles and trauma in his childhood, Freddie became depressed and began to experiment with drugs and alcohol as a young teen. At the age of 26 Freddie had lost everything he ever had; he lost his job, home, friends, and family. At his breaking point, Freddie’s sister helped get him into a Teen Challenge adult program. From there forward, Freddie attended TCMI Bible College for Theology. He is blessed to say that God is real and is still doing miracles today.
