Check out the official song "From Wrong To Strong," a heartfelt gift to the powerful Chicago Ministry led by Brother Omar Calvillo. This song was inspired by the transformative testimony shared by Brother Omar on his Christian podcast, also titled "Wrong To Strong Chicago," where he opens up about his life of crime, incarceration, and the tragic loss he experienced in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood—a story that deeply resonated with M.C. DaNova.

Produced by M.C. DaNova of Conscious Culture NOW! / Cultura Consciente ¡AHORA! based in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico, USA this song is more than just an expression—it's a powerful declaration of faith, redemption, and the life-changing power of the HOLY GHOST.

M.C. DaNova, an ordained Pentecostal Pastor with deep roots in the Little Village community, was profoundly moved by Brother Omar's story. As someone who grew up in the same neighborhood, M.C. DaNova felt a divine calling to create this artistic piece as an evangelistic tool that would speak to the hearts of those struggling with crime, addiction, violence, and hopelessness.

The song was created through prayer, supplication, and collaboration between Brother Omar and M.C. DaNova, combining their shared vision of showcasing the transformative power of repentance and being born again in KING JESUS CHRIST. Brother Omar personally chose this version of the song, and with GOD's guidance, M.C. DaNova worked tirelessly, using his 10 years of audiovisual production experience and AI technology, to bring this vision to life.

Through this powerful song, we aim to promote peace, unity, and the hope of transformation that comes through KING JESUS CHRIST.

Join us on this journey of faith and redemption. Listen to the song and be inspired to know that no matter where you've been, through repentance and obedience, you too can go From Wrong To Strong.
