My name is John Lambert, and I’m truly a living testimony. I grew up in a volatile home and turned to the streets early—caught up in gangs, drugs, and crime that led to multiple incarcerations. At 21, I was sentenced to life without parole by Judge Lance Ito, but after 20 years, by God’s grace, my sentence was reduced. I served 22 years, 5 months, and 13 days, during which I transformed my mindset, put God first, and committed to change.

Now, five years free, I’m married, own a business, run a nonprofit, and work at Loma Linda Hospital supporting trauma patients. My passion is reaching youth affected by violence and gang life—offering not just my story, but my support, guidance, and lived experience.

From America’s Most Wanted to God’s Most Wanted—I’m proof that God turns tests into testimonies, messes into messages, and prison into progress.
