Nicky’s powerful story of redemption, salvation and transformation is a powerful testament to the glorious transformative power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

A vicious fighter, criminal, drug user, drunkard and thief he was the leader of one of New York City’s most violent gangs, the Mau Mau – all before he reached the age of 18. But all that changed when he met David Wilkerson, author of The Cross and the Switchblade, who refused to give up on Nicky Cruz. When he finally met Jesus and accepted Him as his Savior, Nicky Cruz left his violent life and gang to start a ministry that impacts young people today.

Run Baby Run is the story of Nicky’s desperate battle against drugs, alcoholism, and a violent environment, as he searched for a better way of life. His story proves that anyone can be reached with the gospel of Christ.

Nicky speaks in a language to which young people can relate when it comes to peer pressure, drugs, sex and being alone. Many are just looking for someone to love them and put on a macho attitude to mask the emptiness. As Nicky openly shares his life, you can see how Jesus Christ changed his life dramatically and how God has blessed him.
