God vs. gang? For some ex-gangsters in El Salvador, rehab happens at church Posted: 11 Sep 2017 01:50 PM PDT Wilfredo sits on a plastic chair inside Eben Ezer church, nestled in a gang-controlled neighborhood of El Salvador's capital.

Every Tuesday, he brings together former gang members who, like him, say they have left gang life for good after becoming Evangelical Christians in prison.
