Dimas Salaberrios was not always a man of God, in fact, he was quite the opposite. His is a terrifying story about the evil that truly exists in and beyond our world.
The co-pastor of Infinity Bible Church in the Bronx is also the president of Concert of Prayer Greater New York, but not long ago he was preying on the people of New York not praying for them.
