Mr. Natural USA 1980, founder of Samra Nutrition and music import business 'Best of British', Pete Samra, is visiting Pembrokeshire on October 17 and 18.

Pete Samra, who features in Arnold Schwarzenegger's movie 'Pumping Iron', dreamt of being Mr. America. His dreams were shattered when he challenged a drug addicted fellow manager at their Los Angeles gym, ending in a vicious knife fight. Samra pleaded to God for recovery.

Despite rapid recovery; medical bills, a broken marriage and psychological scars, left Pete's life in a mess.

Pastor Ray McCauley set Pete on the road to recovery saying: "Ask Jesus to come into your life. God will never leave you or forsake you. If you ask him to forgive you, your sins they will be gone."

Pete Samra responded, his life began to change. Jesus became the new source of his strength.

Samra turned his back on multi-million dollar mainstream body building, due to its ties with steroid use. Forgetting his dreams of being Mr. USA, he eventually formed Samara Nutrition.

In 1980, the first Mr. Natural USA invited Pete to participate. He gained his dream title! Success led to opportunities to share his faith; this is his reason for visiting Pembrokeshire.

Pete Samra's first event will be held at Beca Caffi, on the A478, Efailwen, on Saturday, October 17, at 6 pm. Cost is £9, with buffet, tea/coffee included. This event is for men only.

He will also share his life story in Kilgetty Community Centre at 10.45 am on Sunday, October 18, with New Life Christian Fellowship, and at Manorbier Evangelical Church on the same day at 6 pm. All are welcome.
