In 1958 viel de bende uit elkaar nadat ze waren uitgenodigd door de beroemde evangelist en predikant David Wilkerson die de jongens vroeg om geld in te zamelen. Aanvankelijk wilden de Mau Maus er met het geld vandoor gaan, maar Cruz bedacht zich en ook de anderen. Ze bekeerden zich tot het christendom. (nl)
