Ronnie Enoch

If I can just reach one.

Ronnie Enoch is a devoted mentor who transformed his personal struggle into purpose and service. Raised in a deeply dysfunctional home with an alcoholic father and domestic violence, Ronnie faced bullying at a young age and admits that he became a bully himself. Searching for escape and belonging, he turned to substances, starting with cigarettes and alcohol, various forms of cocaine, and eventually crack cocaine, the addiction he describes as “the demon that stayed on my back the longest.”

His turning point came when he committed to a year-long, faith-based recovery program in Texas. The program required strict structure and accountability. During this time, Ronnie encountered what he calls “real Christians” and experienced deep spiritual growth. He spent hours reading the Bible in the hallways, often drawing others to gather and listen. Even in his first year, Ronnie naturally became a mentor, discovering that guidance begins with presence and care.

Mentorship, Ronnie believes, is “just being available,” having discernment, and recognizing when someone simply needs a friend. One defining moment came when he almost skipped a youth group meeting but felt called to go. There, a young girl immediately ran to him and “just started pouring her heart out,” a moment that confirmed the importance of showing up. Today, Ronnie is committed to helping youth of all races and backgrounds, believing that service requires a pure heart and sincerity.
