I met Dave in 1987 in paparoa prison and he was a man with much mana. This has touched me greatly and I met his brother in the mount in 91 and he also was a top bloke. I believe in God in my personal way and at 67 I'm still in awe at what's happening in my life. I am the eldest of ten boys and it's a awesome thing to see Dave here. Much Aroha and respect for you bro. I am going thru a profound change at the moment, I am a humble man now, still need some more humility as I'm going thru this journey called life. Tehei Mauri Ora brothers this has made my day.

In a world seemingly careering into darkness it is heartening to see men striving to spread the Light.

This reminds me of my dad 😢 came from Samoa in the 60s got mixed up in the wrong crowds and finally found God and my mum and became the awesome father Dad uncle and family man !! Rest In Peace dad thank you for sharing your story Mr Letele and thank you lil uce for uploading and sharing ❤️

Powerful testimony uso. Bet at 19y/o you never wouldve thought youd be where you are today. How good is our God.

Always amazing to see former Crims turn their lives around and help ppl

Too know the light is to know darkness. This life is a conditioning of the soul through experience. Mad love to these gentlemen for sharing theirs 🙏

Love and peace from London 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 god bless you and your listeners ☘️

I just stumbled upon this video and started watching it because I knew it would be a powerful testimony. I hit rock bottom and nearly died twice only to find the Lord Jesus Christ pulling me up and giving me a reason to live. Then when i heard the Advent message and the power that God works, I became an Sda.

David u r shinning. Grace is all over your humble face. Hope for the lost sheep my brother. God bless your journey

Great testimony thanks God for this ministry!

Pare back in those days produced the hardest blokes in NZ. My uncle did a lag up there in the early early 90s. He was only 20 say. He gave me some incredible art on his release. The carvings and glass painting/poker work was incredible.

Awesome show..much respects to you both..all the best.👌🙏💖

Dave best podcast In NZ keep em coming

Wow David, such a journey you have travelled, I've always seen gangs as sad little boys searching for exceptance. A lot never find their hearts they get so lost. You should be proud of yourself for all do, finding your heart is hard in this cold world, its such a good thing for so many you found yours. Its our hard times that shape us, some only ever find anger you are amazing. Thanks King Dave for making Sunday a day to look forward to, you bring recognition to people helping people that through their darkness have found the light and make their lives so rich helping others.

Love your work Dave and great to see you giving all these guests a platform to speak.

God bless us all brothers and sisters! AMEN.

What a mad story he told. Much love as always Dave.

Enjoyed the listen brothers, thank you.

Awesome podcast uso much love and respect💯👌🏾 God is Good🙏🏽

What's crazy?....is Mr. Letele speaks so well, I wouldn't have even thought this guy was an OG of the MMM if I bumped into him at a local Bakery lol

Another great interview bro. Love the style. Love what the bro has to say...grew up as a state ward. Spent most of my youth from age 4 in and out of family homes, foster homes, the sisters of mercy catholic orphange home..a few years going in and out of epuni boys home , wadestown boys home etc...met heaps of cool guys. But in honesty they were horrible places for kids to grow up in. Much love to everybody . Stay well.

❤ it Dave I look forward to every Sunday when you upload your video 👍🏽

Your the man brother. I've been following you and your kaupapa for a bit now all the korero is so empowering. This episode holds close value to my heart interviewing my uncle. Much love from Sydney brother 💜

Awesome testimony ❤

Best so far bro mad love

Love your stuff uso ❤💯🙏🏻

Great testimony Mr David Letele! What a life journey you've had and turned it around which will definitely benefit others in transition. Salute to the Felon Show! Peace 💯

The cream rises to the top....eventually! Sadly for the youth there are pitfalls everywhere and decisions made early have long lasting effects which is very very hard to put right. Finding the lord and letting him lead is the only way forward....live clean and forget mean! Respect 🙏 🤲 🙌 🙏

Great chat 🇦🇺❤️

❤💯thank you

Arohanui David.. God Bless you Uncle 💖💖💖💖🙏

🙏💙✝️ praise God for the change & testimony .

Bro I know that cry you felt gods love my friend

I remember him in Hautu Turangi We took our culture group to Hautu and he was one of the boys was our leader. Took them out to perform great lot of boys

I love this stuff, believe me I’m no Holy Roller however I’m not blind to the fact that peace in one’s life is there for anyone no matter your background. Surround yourself with the right people, if you sleep on the dogs bed too long,eventually fleas will get bite you. Find a God of your understanding and continually surrender to the fact that that god is a power greater than ourselves and ask your god how you can serve him not how he can serve you. The rest my friends is a journey of self discovery, seeing ourselves honestly without justification it knowing it’s all good, share with your people, learn your not alone and love yourself. Awesome channel mate, love what your doing. 😊

My family came from Samoa when I was 5-6 years old and lived with my Uncle who lived down Wellington...several years later finding out he was in a gang and had a palagi name lol Very interesting to hear how several young men were caught up in that world.

Love brother ❤❤🔥

Warriors for the kingdom of God they follow the foot steps of the Apostle Paul God bless you brothers in Christ

The truth will set us free Amen brothers and sisters Ephesians 6 9-17 Put on the armour of God

Wish we had something like this in Australia 100.

God bless you bro

Finally a real O.G in the game ‼️

Papa dave ❤ the man

Solid positivity

Good video

😇❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

What a beautiful man. Thanks so much for his story. Its important to mention the past but its the transformation and what has been created that is where the miracle is. I only have to look at my own life and the grace of the lord jesus and his work to realise the power that can be vested in us by the H_ Spir_ (i dare not type the name lightly). Looking at this man and the beautiful light that shines through him I am in no doubt of the power of christ. Thank you David.

"(Thou shalt) keep the sabbath day holy and unchanged...". I know the sda observe this commandment. Do you guys follow this "law" or observe the more convenient Sunday as sabbath?
