On June 1, 1953 a boy named David was born in New York. 22 years In 1975, however, I met some guys at a party who were, I later found out, heavily involved in the occult.

Witchcraft, Satanism, occult, horror and Satanic movies, Satanic bible, occult rituals and incantations. Began to kill. David used a .44 caliber hand gun to take the lives of six young women. He wrote letters to the media and police department explaining how “Sam,” a demon who spoke through a dog, was instructing him to kill. Finally, in 1977, David Berkowitz, the “Son of Sam” was arrested and sentenced to 365 years in prison.

David Berkowitz entered Attica Prison, Robert Alexander, was a prison guard.– demons, letters with blood, David "Bezerkowitz."

David was transferred to another prison. The inmate gave him a Gideon’s NT, but David mocked him but finally, David began to read the Psalms. Read Psalm 34:6, "this poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him from all his troubles." 1987

David Berkowitz leads Bible studies. He is up for parole, but he wrote the governor and told him that he did not deserve parole. David said that he deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison because of the heinous acts he committed. He also stated that he believes the Lord has placed him where he is so that he can reach out to other prisoners.

David Berkowitz and Paul have a lot in common – destroyers of life and church
