A dream, a voice, and a life turned toward Christ
Manny Pacquiao · Boxing legend, eight-division world champion
Manny Pacquiao rose from extreme poverty in the Philippines to become one of boxing's all-time greats, but for years his fame was matched by a well-documented life of gambling, drinking, and infidelity that nearly ended his marriage. Raised Catholic, he wore a rosary to the ring and prayed before every fight — but he describes his real turning point coming after a spiritual dream and an experience he recounts as hearing God's voice and seeing two angels while praying alone in a forest. He surrendered his life to Christ, began reading Scripture seriously, and has since preached at evangelistic events across Asia about how God changed a life once filled with vice.
