Boys' Farm testemony

Name: Arnulfo Torres Florez


Date of Birth: August 2nd, 1997


Arnulfo, 11 years old, is from the coastal city of Santa Marta. He left his home because he was being mistreated. His family used to send him to the streets to sell cookies. However, one day he lost the money and was afraid to return to his house since they would beat him very hard for this, so he decided to run away to Medellin. Soon afterwards, he began to attend our Patio day program, and then was able to move up to the boys’ farm in January of this year.

Since moving up to the farm, Arnulfo says that he has learned many things. He has learned to respect the other boys, to live in peace, to be content with all that he has been given, and, more importantly, has gotten to know God our Father. He is a very happy and intelligent boy who is interested in his academic classes. He is learning to read better each day, and does well in mathematics. He really likes to play soccer and to participate in the soccer training twice a week. He also enjoys going to church. He shares that his favorite person from the Bible is Jesus Christ, and he especially likes the praise song “It is good to praise the Lord”.

Please pray that Arnulfo will continue to grow in his relationship with the Lord and for reconciliation with his family. Since living at the boys’ farm, he has now been in communication with his mother who plans to come to Medellin to visit him. Thank you for helping make a difference in Arnulfo’s life.
