The Gangster Who Found Redemption | Pastor Mick Fleming with Victoria Derbyshire

From dealing drugs to running food banks, scraping together £20 to having £300k in the bank, Pastor Mick Fleming has had an extraordinary life - marked by crime, violence but full of forgiveness and redemption.

In this week's Unbelievable Britain, Pastor Mick speaks candidly to Victoria Derbyshire about his very unconventional route to salvation — his troubled past, the events that led him down a destructive path, and the voice of God that changed his life forever. He reflects on faith, and the challenges facing some of the most vulnerable people in society today.

Now the founder of Church on the Street, Mick dedicates his life to supporting those struggling with homelessness, addiction and poverty, offering practical help and hope to people who often feel forgotten.
