Episode 188 - Testimony Series: A Life Saved in Prison - With Ulises Larramendi

This episode is a part of our December testimony Series. Ulises Larramend shares his 15-year journey with Reflective Media Productions. He discusses the ministry's evolution from Bible studies and women's retreats to impactful media addressing significant issues like trauma, suicide, and substance abuse. Highlighting their work, Ulysses recounts an emotional letter from an inmate who was inspired by their short film 'Reconsider' to reconsider suicide, renew his faith and find a new purpose. Ulysses underscores the profound impact and purpose of their media storytelling in changing lives for the better.

Bio:

Born in Cuba in 1963, Ulises moved to the US in 1977 where he settled in Houston and has considered Texas "home" ever since. 

In 2006 Ulises created his own restaurant concept called Eden Café. But while he carries hospitality in his veins and loves what he does, he also has another passion for telling stories and acting. Ulises has been blessed to work in faith-based films and TV series glorifying God with his gifts. Ulises lives in Texas with his wife and children.
