Nicky Cruz turned christian because there was a man called david wilkerson. david was a preacher and he came to the New York where nicky hung aroung wiht his crew. the preacher held a group for all the gang member, drug addicts to go and listen to him. nicky and the rest of his gang went to this meeting and then nicky heard the phrase "Jesus loves you" that stuck into his head for quite a long time. nicky thought to himself that someone actually does loe him because when he was younger his mother and father used to tellhim that they don't love him. when nicky relised that someone actually loved him he became christian and he started to run youth institutes for teenagers who were on drugs or in gangs and he would help them to sort all their troubles out

After having read several books about him; I think this might help you.

Nickey had been the president of his gang the Mau Maus, but wanted to fight more, so he was the vice president when he met Rev. Wilkerson. The Pastor, through prayer, was led to start ministering on the streets to help people come out of spiritual darkness and sin. After giving a sermon on the streets he went up to Nickey Cruz, and told him Jesus loves you. Nickey didn't like that at all. In fact it upset him so much he told the preacher to stay away from him. Nickey left with his girl friend and went to his gang's place; an abandoned basement; and started to dance to really loud music. After awhile the pastor found him, and held out his hand to Nickey, and told him Jesus loves You. Nickey went and freaked out and threatened to kill the pastor. Any way to make a long story a little shorter Nickey went to Rev. Wilkerson's crusade at a local hockey arena on a dare from his best friend Israel. The pastor asked Nickey to take the offering and Nickey did the right thing and didn't steal it though he easily could. After Wilkerson spoke about Jesus Nickey wanted to protect Jesus and then thought about all the terrible things he'd done. At the end of the sermon the Holy Spirit began to move across the arena, and Nickey who hadn't cried in many years began to cry. Then with the help of the Holy Spirit and some help from the pastor Nickey and his best friend Israel gave their lives to Jesus.

Christianity improved Nicky Cruz's life greatly because David Wilkerson helped Nicky Cruz by telling him that God loved him. Cruz was shocked and threatened to kill him. A few weeks later Cruz decided to kill him. But when he went there he felt guilty. All this changed Nicky Cruz's life from gangster to a Christian.

Cruz was born in Las Piedras, Puerto Rico where he was raised by his parents.

His parents practiced brujeria and were followers of spiritism ("espiritismo").

They mentally abused him; his own mother would call him "Son of Satan".

The neighborhood in which he lived was one of the worst in Puerto Rico

and Cruz was always getting into trouble.

According to his book Run Baby Run, his parents sent him to live with his brother in New York City

when he was 15, and Cruz soon ran away and started living on the streets of the city.

He became a member of the Mau-Mau street gang, and about six months later Cruz was selected

Warlord of the gang. He quickly rose to be their leader.

But then he met David Wilkerson, and David lead Nicky to Jesus Christ. All glory to Jesus!
