Robert
My name is Roberto Caballero Jr., and I am a product of God’s grace. I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

I was raised in the faith from a young age, and my parents did their best to teach me about Jesus. Yet, despite that foundation, I chose to live a life of sin.

At just 11 years old, I began to stray, experimenting with marijuana. By the age of 14, I was involved in gang activity, which only pulled me deeper into a destructive lifestyle. Over the years, my choices led me further from God and further into addiction.

By the age of 23, I had become addicted to meth, and eventually that addiction progressed to fentanyl.

After two years of fentanyl addiction, I lost everything and became homeless. During that painful season, my father passed away from COVID-19.

Before he died, he told my sister not to give up on me because he believed that one day God would use me and my testimony for His glory.

I first entered Turning Point Men’s Home and stayed for nine months, but my pride convinced me to leave before completing the program. Although I had learned valuable lessons, I did not fully surrender. Within two years, I found myself back on the same destructive path, using meth again and eventually landing in jail.

While I was in jail, the men’s home supervisor, Luis Barajas, came to visit me. Full of pride and still bound by addiction, I told him there was no way I would ever return to the program. Despite my resistance, he prayed for me before I went back to my cell. Just two days after my release, I returned to using meth and slowly began using fentanyl again. My life quickly unraveled, and I ended up homeless once more.

A few months later, I was back in jail. This time, something in my heart had changed. I knew I needed real help. I asked my sister to contact Luis, and he faithfully came to visit me again. That day, I told him I was ready to return to the men’s home. He went to all my following court dates, and I was then court-ordered to Turning Point Men’s Home for one year.

Today, by the grace of God, my life is being restored. I am now able to be present in both of my sons’ lives, something I once thought I had permanently lost. I am deeply grateful for this program for opening its doors to men like me, helping reignite my faith, restore my hope, and guide me toward a life of purpose.

Thank you to every supporter and donor who makes this program possible. My life stands as a testimony that no matter how far we fall, God’s grace is greater. God is not finished with me yet.
