I found something similar here: Ex-communist finds purpose-driven cause. If this is the article Warren saw, the title might have thrown him off.
Because so many lives have been changed through Warren's ministry, I try to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Don't give Warren the benefit of the doubt. He can't even get a simple story right, and he twists it (as he does the Scriptures) to suit himself and his agenda.
"In the mid-1980s, when the CPP was cleansing its ranks of suspected deep-penetration agents, Constantino was among those at the party’s helm. But the purge, which killed around 3,000 of his comrades, nagged at his conscience.
“I became confused. What right did we have to determine the fate of others when we ourselves were not beyond reproach? What was once a choice assignment for me became a living hell. It was then that I said, ‘If there is a God, He would take me out of this,’” he said.
His “rescue” came in the form of an arrest in August 1988. He was detained at Camp Crame for over a year.
Kindness
In prison, Constantino found kindness in his arresting officer, then Capt. Balligi Tira (now superintendent of the Philippine National Police Academy).
At first he thought it was just a ploy to break him down, but when Tira’s father and brother, who were pastors at the Greenhills Christian Fellowship, started visiting him and telling him about God’s love and forgiveness, he submitted.
In an affidavit, he admitted his involvement with the CPP—but declined the government’s request for him to turn state witness.
Once, brought before then President Corazon Aquino, Constantino was asked what he would do if he were set free. He said he would do the same thing—serve the people."
