Jesse’s story is one that draws people to him during his life’s path. Due to his extraordinary talent and crossroads of cultures and experiences, he has already died and has been born again. On May 21, 1970, Jesse Raudales was pronounced dead upon his arrival into this world. His Mother, believing strongly in the Power of God, would not accept the decision rendered by medical science. She seized the opportunity to firmly cradle her newborn infant into her arms and pray to God, before the doctors could take him away. It worked. His mother honored God by naming her newborn Jesus, allowing his hair to grow long, and clothing him in burlap robes and leather sandals until the age of 5.
