Larry Huch: From Violent Drug Trafficker to Bold Champion for Jesus and Israel
05/06/25 • 29 min
A childhood of abuse led to a life on a volatile path, and soon Pastor Larry Huch found himself surrounded by drugs and worse. Diving headfirst into a life of crime, he went from using drugs, to selling them, to smuggling them. Yet, as his life spun more and more out of control, he had no idea he was on a collision course with the truth of The Gospel. A seemingly chance encounter transformed his life. In his powerful new book, “From Junkie to Jerusalem,” he’s sharing how others can experience that same life-changing power that took him from a life of crime to being a bold pastor and one of the world’s foremost supporters of Israel.
