Events coming up

Roberto Flores was born in Joliet, Illinois to a first-generation Mexican-American family. His father-son struggles, which caused him to fear for his life, drove him from his home at the age of 13. He found comfort from a local bar owner who traded him lodging in return for his willingness to sell drugs on his behalf at the bar. Quickly Flores became proficient at his new trade of drug dealing, enjoying the lure of power associated with his new position, as well as its money making engine. With this new persona of respect, he became the drug lord, known as Don Beto. By the age of 18, he had a personal limo driver, who he paid two thousand dollars a day. He lived at Lake Point Towers among other renowned people such as Oprah Winfrey, Tom Selleck and Sammy Sosa with an income of approximately $65,000 a week. His million-dollar drug business was a cartel lifestyle based on threats and violence that would not last for long. He still longed for normalcy as he sat and cried watching his classmates graduate from high school. He joined the army hoping for change, but soon found the lure for money and false-respect overpowered these hopes.

Don Beto’s life was an illusion of prosperity and success; but the truth be told, his life had no meaning or hope. He yearned for life to be something more. Prior to his retirement as Don Beto, two men, who desired his drug clientele, came and shot him once in the head, the chest, and the leg leaving him for dead. The police when arriving on the scene pronounced him dead, and took evidence photos of the crime; but to everyone’s surprise, God saved Roberto Flores, still the drug lord at heart. Following his hospital recovery, he fled to Mexico to plan his revenge, but the realization that he was not invincible rang through his thoughts. God had his attention. Don Beto, aka Roberto Flores would ask God, “Why did you save me?” This man’s engaging life story will witness, even to the most skeptical listener, of the power of the ever-present God to reroute lives and intervene to help one accomplish the purpose they were created for.
