A few thoughts from Pastor Terry

Colombia is a beautiful country and the masses of people are wonderfully gracious. Medellin has streets full of small shops and street venders, always crowded and alive with friendly and interesting people. I thoroughly enjoy walking down the streets, taking in this vastly different culture ( and of course eating empanadas).

But, we have come here to work with Open Arms Ministry. They reach out to the poor, homeless and abused that come from a history of such evils as drug addicted parents, glue sniffing children, mothers prostituting their children and physical abuse. These children have grown up in an environment of gangs, pornography, sex and poverty. Therefore, we find it a necessity to also report about this.
Thank God for Christian people who lay down their lives for this most difficult and thankless service, ministering to those caught in this great darkness. They hold on to some miraculous testimonies and wonderful successes, but too much of the time their hearts are broken by those that do not follow Christ.
