Escaping Gangs: Death, Jail Or Redemption | SPAC Nation
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 มี.ค. 2019
- First in a new observational documentary series following the radical work of Church SPAC Nation as it tries to help young Londoners escape gang culture.
Former gang leader Kevin has just become a pastor. He is now trying to persuade high-ranking members of his former gang to turn their lives around. We see Kevin’s struggles as he tries to bring Beckton drill rapper and gang leader, Young Dizz - reputed to be one of the most dangerous young people in London - into the church. Young Dizz finds it hard to give up the violent music and lifestyle, despite Kevin's efforts to help him escape. Meanwhile, the church is worried that new recruit, Jahiem, 16, is being sucked deeper into drug-dealing in Brixton.
This is the first of three films in the series, released each Sunday.

“Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did.”

Exactly!
It's sad but it's working to pull these people off the road
Whats good in the hood worshiping money on the streets, worshipping money in church, all leads to evil 🤷🏽♀️
“For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.”
1 Timothy 6:10 NLT
Whats good in the hood they should become a youth club then
Tbh please just call yourselves a Gang Reform Organisation or something...
They are a church , because they put people towards god/ love, most people there are just normal black/white citizens
Church is a gang reform, prostitute reform, thief reform, liar reform, addict reform, murder reform, religious reform, it takes sin and reforms us into our true identity through grace and love!! Since when has church become an aquarium for christians ...
Rachel Sonaiki this is a home for people that no one cares about so why don’t you mind your on business if you don’t wanna be a part of it why you judging brudda like u know about the way brudda live
Da An but why are you crying tho? I have an opinion, you have your own. Shikena. But don’t speak recklessly, yeah. Cool😌
And who in particular did I judge because I don’t recall directing my comment to a specific individual 🤔
Rachel Sonaiki 🤔 what do you mean recklessly stop gassing ur selt and we’re you even from cah mans from Brixton/Clapham I’m guessing your just some YAT from Woking it Brighton low the verbal
Church donations must be paying well if he can afford a car like that!

Big Lurch Aka Looney2 ECC I hope you gained something lol
Using materialistic things to attract young souls🤦🏾♀️
Tiana Walker so true
Too bad there’s people like “Don’t force your religion on us”
levner brown ha
Do u see another way of attracting them doe?
@@seekndestroy_5983 My thoughts exactly, like Jesus uses peoples past (mistakes) and creates purpose from it, so obviously, He will use ex gang-members.. bc they know exactly what got them into that lifestyle (lack of opportunity & hunger for success/freedom) and now they use it as a tool to point the lost towards Jesus (true peace & freedom).
God gave everyone unique ways to reach the souls.. just because it is unconventional to some doesn't make it pseudo or wicked. God loves all His children and he knows how each of their hearts are and how to engage them. For some it's peace, others it's financial stability -- (what most risked their freedom and lives to get out in the streets).
I pray that they continue to reach each soul and ignite their purpose for God's glory. Yes, it is evident that the material stability is what attracts them.. we can all think of something that first attracted us to God (find a husband or receive healing for an illness, or something else that is from this material world), but after maturing in faith we gained awareness and transformation on WHO He truly is, with time and patience ****through relationship with Jesus & the church community****, God reveals Himself more and more, and we mature and stop expecting blessing, but learn what it means to be a Christian... to give and guide others to life and peace... so yeah it documentary wont go into depth... but I CHALLENGE those who want to judge and assume.. maybe look up a sermon from the church and see if they are preaching the true gospel of freedom from the enslavement that this world oppresses (ESPECIALLY MINORITIES) into what feels like a trap of sin... at least they are doing something about it.. instead of complaining on the internet.. for those who aren't satisfied, how many souls did you win for Jesus this week? ? ?
So tell me when BBC 3 is making a Doc about black kids going to Uni at 12 like Akala stated?
When will they make a documentary about black people taking the piss out of other black people going to uni. I don't believe white people have a problem with that.
Lorie L you lot are deluded

I bet people inside that church will judge you if you dont come in with one designer item.

Bally’s in church? Gospel drill? Flaunting wealth in church? It will NEVER make sense to me. This church is filled with false prophets. 1 Timothy 6 says it all really, especially 1 Timothy 6:10 “For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.”
How else can you introduce religion to the youth of today? They need to enjoy being there. I’m not about following everything said in the bible. Things change, generations have different ways of doing things it’s as simple as that. It’s just such a close minded way of thinking about things
S kay 1) 1 John 1:6-7 - that is a fair pint, but it is ironic and quite paradoxical that people are wearing clothing that they would’ve worn to go and commit crimes in the house of the Lord. It shows they still haven’t fully let go of that lifestyle. 2) do you go to the church or? The leaders of the church literally all wear red bottoms and lots of designer. The pastors car? Have you not seen their music videos? Pls, as someone who has visited that church, I know what I’m talking about. 1 John 2:6, Micah 6:8
Jack McLaughlin I’m aam part of the youth of today, and I can easily say there are many ways of introducing religion to the youth of today. I respect how they’re getting the youth off of the streets, I’m more concerned about the false teachings. Yes, things change, don’t you think God already anticipated that? Biblical teachings, when perceived correctly can still be applied to our generation. Deuteronomy 8:6. You might choose to not follow the bible, but for me my walk with God has come leaps and bounds from reading the bible and praying that God allows me to read it with understanding and open mindedness.
Flowerrose121 wow I didn’t know about that, thank you for shedding light on it I’d only heard about a few other scandals. I pray that the truth will come out, I definitely believe they are getting their money in illegitimate ways. 1 Timothy 6:5 “To them, a show of Godliness is just a way to become wealthy”
@@kd4465 They might _also_ be wearing what they consider their best. They think they're clean as the board of health! I, nor anyone but them and the Lord knows what's in their hearts. God will meet us where we are, right _here,_ right _now._ If they truly want to worship in spirit and truth, God will move on their heart, and create a brand new being. Their young both in earthly age and in Christ.
This is actually ridiculous, bye..
agree
They been exposed
@@smokeyanimate3564 where and how
Keep God out of this, this is a money rehabilitation centre not a Church.
MEbeing ME 😂😂😂😂😂
Right! Like what church hands out 30k to a man
The are not born again Christian that’s why
It's a booming business I must say...how much cut he gets...m sure there must be some good deal...
Gives them hope.
I feel like this church needs to distinguish between building entrepreneurs and building faith within the people that go here. Getting drug dealers and young people in gangs to change their ways should be applauded but the gospel is really not what they are selling to these young people in my opinion, they're selling a lifestyle. So what I feel needs to be done is have spac nation church and have a spac nation organisation. One of which helps people come to Christ and then the other can be a separate organisation that helps people who have taken a wrong turn in life become entrepreneurs. Not bashing spac nation it just seems like there's too much going on and christianity isn't the primary focus.
Completely agree
This is a very very good point
Very underrated comment 👏🏽
FACTS
Honestlyyyy
I wish they marketed themselves as a social enterprise rather than a church because I would be supportive of it rather than including God in things that don’t glorify God.
ParadoxBox exactly
for real. these guys are corrupt
Facts...when you're calling it church you're crossing into dangerous territory because now Jesus will come at you like the churches in revelation
The thing is, they need Jesus for the renewing of the mind, plain human initiative doesn't suffice, if it did, they wouldn't be gang members in the first place. Don't judge, because them changing their ways is DEFINITELY glorifying God. It's a process and the church is for ALL children of God, not just the saints. Jesus crossed dangerous territory all in the name of love and to show people their TRUE identity.. only way to show people is to bring the church to them and point them towards a better way.
Bible says, God will judge us the same way we judge others, so it's good for us to keep ourselves humble and walk in the spirit of gentleness as Jesus did himself.
People thinking that sick people don’t go to the doctors. 🤯
How long before all those road man in the church start hating one each other and the inevitable happens. All those youths are just there because they are enticed by the shine and once the shine is not equally distributed then plots will be made.
stop hating let them do their thing
Better have that fkfglobal
Pastor takes the tithes(10% of income that goes to church) and u ppl are clueless 🤧🤧☠
@@Brixtonfrog that's not how a tithe works
@@ayomilekanadegunwa563 if ur gnna take the time to comment you might aswell explain how it works then🤷🏾♂️
Omg this church again I'm not sure how I feel about this
First thing i said 😂😂😂
Defo something funny about it
what do you mean "this church again"..? have you seen that bullshit b4?
If they take one gang member off the streets in the long run how man lives does that save and how many more prevented from being affect by tragedy FEEL THAT
Opinions on Spac aside half these man need to deal with the trauma of their experiences, walking around with PTSD & other undiagnosed conditions. The church should encourage seeking professional help alongside their redemption if that's the route they're trying to go down
Real talk
Facts
But what if they're being manipulated and used financially...
mzilikazi96 what does professional help do it just reinforces that you aint shit🤦🏿♂️
@@elpresidente6734: If that's been your experience of "professional help", then it hasn't really been "professional", has it? Of course you'll have some bad professionals but there are many out there who genuinely want to improve lives of people who've been through difficult situations, and to help people come to terms with things they've lived.
I dont trust these people at all at all at all.. this is a 419! Don't get involved
Seconded
Wait...is a member of SPAC Nation a BBC journalist or something?
hahahahaha
It’s Swiss from So Solid
lol - these people are DOUBLE FACED !!
#1 Tip to escaping jail!?
Be a real person get a job , earn a living stop feeling LIke the world owes you something..
💪👍👌
LJ Jackson it takes a village to raise a child
How difficult is it to get a job once you have a criminal record? Clearly the system doesn’t work or so many people wouldn’t feel like they have to turn back to the illegal life.
Much easier said than done
LJ Jackson That’s not true man I live in America in my city I applied and called almost everywhere I could work I’m 18 and I still haven’t gotten a job. I have no criminal record at all either at 16 I worked at McDonald’s though
How easy is it for you to say that?

LOOOOL!
*The Gospel of Jesus Christ is enough.*
Jesus Christ never required any additional extras in order to draw men unto Himself. And he associated with prostitutes, tax collectors, and even hung on a cross next to thieves.
Yet the messages from this documentary seem so contradictory to Biblical facts.
The true Gospel of Jesus Christ doesn’t require cars/ clothes/ material wealth/ balaclavas etc to win souls for the kingdom.
SPAC nation - please understand this.
*The Gospel of Jesus Christ is enough.*
Nothing needs to be added to it. And nothing needs to be subtracted from it.
Selah.
💯🙌
16:42 THE LITTLE GIRL IN THE BACKGROUND 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Showing up to church in that car.... ok
to be fair they did say he made millions in property consulting
Shiro hi Light the second money becomes heavily involved in faith is the second you know it’s corrupt.
@Nick Fitzpatrick That Pastor is nothing but a businesses man and this is just another businesses venture forhim.
@Nick Fitzpatrick His motives are questionable, what if he wasn't offering materialism to these young impressionable boys how else would he try and engage with them? Once he has them in the clutches of his church it means bigger rewards for him in donationations.
@Nick Fitzpatrick That Pastor is doing many of them a disservice because their minds are set on materialism and at the end of the day whatmatters most is your health and state of mind.
Didn't hear the name of Jesus once! lol
test cch lol 14:23
Ok once then
@@ricoszn7146 its routine to say the name of 'Jesus' in a prayer out of habit. But this documentary is about saving lives and bringing people to Christ and Jesus is not mentioned as the reason for bringing people to the gospel? How Sway? How? loool false Prophets!

24:07 he didn’t want smoke with Adele 😂😂😂
Imagine she rolls up on him with a big shank lmao
Not surprised that young dizz has been sentenced to 12 years. There was evidently no change in his character, he was there to take up seats. He didn’t seem like he wanted to change.
Man like young Dizz looks like big Worm from Friday
I can’t believe someone thought that too. 😂
““No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon [money, possessions, fame, status, or whatever is valued more than the Lord].”
MATTHEW 6:24 AMP
Currently watching this and tbh I’m in two minds. It’s great that the church is taking kids off the street and giving them a purpose. However, it seems these youths are being bribed to stop what they’re doing. Other than being financially supported by a kind man, nothing shows that they have accepted Christ. It’s like going to university because you get a free grant 🤔 it just seem like a different version of gang culture. I hope this changes in the next episode.
Exactly my thoughts
Read rev 18 that is the church
Don’t be naive bro nothing about this is to do with Christianity. It’s gangsters racketeering in open air behind the guise hood faith.
Fantastic work that you do to try and reduce the youth from being gang affiliated really respect that God bless 🙌🏾
Gangs are so terrifying. This stuff needs to be more popular, more people need to know about this.
Do a drill and repent...2 man on the opp block 24 prayers we’ll leave him blessed
I swear my man looks like an usher !!!
God bless these young people and may they get deeper into the true gospel, true doctrine, true Word. Rejoicing that they're coming out of gang life (less stabbings, shootings, drug dealing.. less sinning). Glory to God
People don’t know Nigerians. To them having a successful church is a pop star sort of lifestyle. You are a celebrity, In the limelight. They thrive off it in all ways. Film star lifestyle. Its creed because its going beyond that lifestyle of being just comfortable.
True
We’re not all the same plz stop stereotyping people
Not all Nigerian or African churches are like that.
@@evazela it's not all
Not all Nigerians are Christian lol
Half of Nigeria is Muslim
This is wonderful. I’m so glad someone is calming the violence in London.
These documentaries are just ridiculous. So monotonous
Agreed😂😂😂
BBC Three know what they are doing.
@@Ik.Fwego. they're lazy & there's a narrative they're trying to push
I’m not one for making TH-cam comments but as a beckton resident my whole life and growing up with alot of these guys I commend u man for what u have done..it’s not easy layin it out bare like that u man are real for that..and U represented a place I love as much as U man perfectly...the past the present and the future of beckton is all here to see...kevin I salute u and JR next time u about holla me bro
What's young dizz actually like u can brief it down I'm just a day 1 fan of his mate
A pastor that drives a Lamborghini and likes to look good, is this the new redemption SCAM🤫.
I heard through the Grapevine that the Church is the biggest Gang
"In September 2019"
How did this pass without someone noticing that mistake. I already can't take it seriously
LOOOOOOOOL
YOUNG DIZZ😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sitting in your church on Sunday,thinking what you're gonna do Monday....
Regardless whether this spac nation ting is good or bad I hope all these man make it out of the life especially dizz
hopefully they change,cause they all gonna end up in the same place.wasted talent man.
Amara Thakker he can change
I may criticize their methods, but they're doing more than the government with their ocassional TV interviews but that's it.
There helping people become the capitalist class who make the problems
But its about the gospel , not once did they talk about how Jesus saved their life that's the gospel they're meant to share instead the say" spac nation saved me" you're not saved by a church you're saved by Jesus Christ and that's the only way you can be saved any other then that's blasphemy and false doctrine
If you knew what was really going on you be sick
@@TheSanctifiedBabe jesus is a myth
@@TheSanctifiedBabe: To be fair (and I don't them much) what you've mentioned (in isolation) doesn't necessarily mean they're all bad. Them saying "SPAC Nation saved me" may not necessarily refer to spirituality in itself*, but more to the fact that before meeting them they were involved in things that weren't the best, and since encountering the group they've decided to stop being involved in such activities. (* Yes, you could argue that they should be more spiritual, but at the same time they seem quite smart and probably know that people tend to switch off when you just start off like that)
BRO JUST LOOK AT THE PASTORS HOUSE 🤣😭
Who’s her after young diz is in jail for 6yrs
Mans called y.lucifer acg and he’s posted with church mandem 🤣🤣🤣
Lurking for souls 🤣
He's just there for the business opportunity.
The Young Dizz seems too proud to be perceived as violent. He wont change rn
Something doesn’t seem right....
God bless you pastor and the people you’re helping
I want to write to Young Dizz. Does anyone know how I can get in contact with him?? It's proper unfortunate that he took this route in life. I see a lot potential and good in people, regardless of what they done or are currently doing in their life.
1:04 I honestly never thought I would see this guy posted
Is that a PS3 i see..... let’s pray for him 💔
But apparently he's out here making hella money lmfao. Even his swag was malnourished.
@@ibrushmyteethbeforeieatass9774 stawwwwpppp 😂🤣🤣🤣😭
Man like young dizz do a drill and repent
Muhammad Barry like how many times did I chef him how’s he alive it don’t make sense ???

I swear my man looks like an opp !!! 🚨
do any one know what song that is playing in the background 5:34
1:05 The Spirit was not touching Dizz at all 😂😂😂
Nothing can touch dizz !! Ask CB he will tell you 6 comes before 7 🚨
The forever cliche of trying to escape a life you constantly are rapping about... 🙄
Reminds me of Gus from Breaking Bad. Seems really dodgy
If this pastor truly wanted to help his people and these young boys. He should invest in a charity and put these boys through a two year self healing program, also showing the qualities of life and what it takes to be a man. Go on trips to poverty countries, let them see how our people are suffering. Then once the program is completed. Then invest I them!!
True
Young dizz needs to lay off the fizzy drinks
Trust me, eyes come yellow
I do not comprehend. I think the world is coming to an end soon, madness !!! God bless 🙏🏻
Do a part 2 or a serious of this
When the next episode out 👀???
moving like the UK version of creflo dollar mans gonna be asking for a private jet soon
As soon as i heard the pastors name I said to myself. No wonder. Nigerians will not dissapoint in living and flexing life to the max. Pastor got a Lambo
CB is gonna be laughing at this
Yeah 23 years in the can
CB defo got bigger fish to fry ryt now 😂😂
Laughing at how stupid he is to finally let the 6 walk about and crown Dizz the Prince of Newham
He’s probably Muslim by noe
Now
If my pastor pulls up in a lambo, we need to have a conversation. Put me on game or I'm gone!
God tells us not to care for such material things, to not entice jealousy or be jealous
Spac nation is a cult but respect dis man's story
Big up young dizz still talking realness
How can I get involved 🙏🏽💕
And now young dizz is serving a 12year prison sentence for kidnapping assault and grooming.
1:09 he was sitting like some devil in that church 😂😂
Jibril Hassan Glad I wasn’t the only one who caught that
I swear the guy talking at the beginning was in young dizzs drill and repent video
This was the longest 26 mins of my life.
Man like Young Dizz
Its easy to loose yourself in the gang life but its just as hard to leave the gang life behind. It's not something you can do with a click of a finger some gangs really don't let you leave and I'm happy these people are getting the help they need.
It's only hard bcus the 1s u love the most get noticed by the higher, and they use that love against u. They'll protect someone who's loved by every female & even makes the most evil of men smile when he walks in a room- aside from drug addiction that's the 2nd trap. Is who you love.
I wish him the best.....don’t agree with everything about this church but if they can reach out and help some that normally would not be helped then I pray it all works out...
I really don’t know if I can take this seriously. It seems like a mess for me. They may be doing great things for people but i feels there’s more to it that I’m very sceptical off. Just something off. Can’t put my finger on it
Spac nation didn’t help young dizz man said 12 years for kidnapping and torture 💀
16:45 the girl in the background tho 😂
its like i can't get away from this church i swear,
There everywhere what happened to good old fashioned black churches
Something is suspect how is the pastor balling like that
steg did you not listen ?
He gets members of the church to bang fraud for him under their names so if the jobs don’t bang, he won’t get in any trouble.
Business Golden Clan he’s been rich way before spac nation tho
this reminnds me of the episode of south park where cartman becomes a pastor and robs peoples money lol
In fairness the way he introduced people to his faith COULD work really well, giving people great opportunity and if genuine he deserves a lot of respect, however he’s just seems a bit shady doesn’t he??
Man needs to check that tyre pressure🤣
11:55 September 2019? Hmm okay we’re not even there yet lool
That’s not a church it’s a gang meet and greet like what church is called spac nation
At least a lot of them want to come out of that life. They are making moves
1:33 Ain't this the background music for SWIL ?
What’s pastor Kevin’s insta?
