American actor Chris Pratt who came to prominence after his television role as Andy Dwyer in the NBC sitcom Parks and Recreation acknowledged the help of Jesus Christ following his win at the just concluded Teen Choice Awards.
The 38-year-old actor accepted the award for choice sci-fi movie actor just a week after suffering a blow in his relationship.
“I would not be here without my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,” Pratt said at the award show that celebrates the films, television shows, athletics and music enjoyed by teenagers
Pratt previously reminisced on how a life-changing experience where a man preached to him while he was younger and still living in Hawaii. He also revealed a spirit-filled message that the man of God had for him on the fateful night almost 20 years ago.
“He was like, ‘I stopped because Jesus told me to stop and talk to you. He said to tell you you’re destined for great things,'” Pratt recalled. “My friends came out, and I was like, ‘Hey, I’m gonna go with this guy.’ I gave my soul to Jesus within, like, two days. I was stuffing envelopes for his organization, Jews for Jesus. I’m not even sure, at that age — I was nineteen years old — I knew what Jewish was.”
