Darwin Benjamin

Darwin was raised in Southern California, where he attended church and was an High School All American football star in Inglewood, California. Upon entering U.O.P. in Stockton, his success did not precede him in the way he had dreamed of, making professional football his career.  Replacing his broken dream with a drug addiction and women, he ran fast and hard but for the wrong team.  Finding himself further from the truth, him and his girlfriend Yolanda found themselves to pregnant with twins.  After the birth, and death of one of the twins, he blamed God for this tragedy. The death of Natasha brought a gripping truth of reality to his life style.

At that point he began to recognize that God was pursuing him and wanted to heal his pain and addictions. On November 13, 1988, he found the Truth, in Jesus.  Since then he has won thousands to Christ with his testimony.  From tragedy to victory!  He shares his story with passion and conviction not only in churches, but schools and any given opportunity.  As a Motivational speaker and Evangelist, no matter where he speaks lives are touched and changed to help make positive choices for themselves.

You will be inspired and challenged with the message of hope he will bring to ROL. You don’t want to miss out in how he relates to all backgrounds and races.  ROL will never be the same after experiencing his humor and passion for life.  Darwin has a gift to stir up the church and allows the Holy Spirit to minister through him.
