Diego of Colombia

At first Diego did not want to know anything about God. “God does not exist,” he would say, “where was He when those men killed my father?” But through the love shown to him at the Centre, God has healed Diego’s heart. “I like to pray now,” says Diego, “it’s good to do it.”

Jacqueline (19) came to the Children’s Centre ten years ago, after the town where she and her family had lived, was taken over by guerrillas. She was separated from her family when her father, a Christian leader in the community, was killed. Despite her circumstances, Jacqueline gives thanks to God for allowing her to stay at the Centre. “The Centre is my home and everyone who works for Open Doors is my family,” she said.

There are 50 children from different regions of the country staying at the Centre. Even though their stories vary widely, all of them are heartbreaking. Please write to the children staying at the Centre and let them know that their family in Christ remembers them.
