Jesus Christ came into his life at the age of 25, in a campaign by international evangelist Nicky Cruz, accompanied by the orchestra of Bobby Cruz and Richie Ray. On May 1, 1991 Pastor Esteban Morales, his wife and his family started the House of Freedom which has been dedicated to helping others heal from addiction.
