Luis Guitierrez was sentenced to life in prison for murder. After 15 years in prison, Luis began following Jesus and started work for Seat King, a business housed inside the prison where Luis resided.
Luis asked his boss, Pete Ochs, to represent him at a parole hearing. When Luis’ hearing date drew near, Luis panicked because he had learned that Pete was in Guatemala on a business trip.
To Luis’ surprise, Pete made expensive arrangements to leave Guatemala immediately. Today Luis is free from prison and impacts many lives through his business, Redemption Tattoo.
John 15:13 teaches, “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
Loving our employees sometimes requires sacrifice, but the kingdom benefit can be great as in Luis’ case.
