From Addiction to Evangelism: The Powerful Testimony of Todd White
Introduction
Todd White was once a desperate heroin addict, caught up in a cycle of addiction, criminality, and misery. He lived wildly, avoiding God and harming people around him. However, following a life-changing experience with Jesus Christ, he was entirely transformed. Today, he is a fervent evangelist who travels the world sharing the gospel and teaching believers how to live in the power of the Holy Spirit.
This is his incredible story of redemption and transformation.
A Life of Addiction and Destruction
Todd White grew up in a shattered environment and was exposed to dysfunction from a young age. As he grew older, he resorted to drugs, drink, and crime for fulfillment, but they only drove him further into despair.
For 22 years, he was hooked to heavy narcotics and led a dangerous lifestyle. His decisions resulted in shattered relationships, criminality, and a profound sense of emptiness.
“I was a full-blown addict. I lived for myself, and I destroyed the lives of everyone around me.” — Todd White
Despite multiple attempts to change, Todd found himself going back to the same destructive habits. He was suicidal and felt hopeless.
A Life-Changing Encounter with Jesus
One night, after years of addiction and destruction, Todd found himself at the lowest point of his life. He had lost everything, and in desperation, he cried out to God for help.
“God, if You’re real, help me. If You can take this life, it’s Yours.”
God answered.
Shortly after, Todd encountered a pastor who shared the gospel with him and prayed over him. Something inside him changed that day—for the first time, he felt hope.
But the real breakthrough came later when he had a powerful vision of Jesus Christ. In this vision, Jesus told him:
“I have been with you even in your darkest moments. I love you, and I have a purpose for your life.”
At that moment, Todd White was completely set free from drug addiction. Years of substance abuse and bondage were broken instantly.
“I woke up the next day, and I had no desire for drugs. I was completely free. Jesus set me free!”
A Radical Transformation
From that day forward, Todd White never touched drugs again. He immersed himself in the Bible and became obsessed with Jesus. His heart burned to share the gospel with everyone he met.
Todd’s transformation was so radical that people who knew him couldn’t believe it. The man who had once been a reckless addict was now boldly preaching the gospel and praying for strangers.
“I read my Bible every day, and everywhere I went, I told people about Jesus. I didn’t know theology, but I knew that Jesus saved me, and I wanted everyone to know.”

Todd White’s passion for Jesus led him to full-time ministry. He began preaching on the streets, praying for the sick, and sharing testimonies of what God had done in his life.
