Juan Ciudad grew up in Spain and travelled over much of Europe and Africa while in the Army. While in his 40's he received a vision from the Infant Jesus calling him 'John of God'. From then on he turned to God and helped care for the sick and homeless. He converted many of his patients to the Faith and established the Order of Charity.
