Barranquilla, Colombia is one of the largest cities and ports on the coast of the Caribbean Sea. The city is filled to the brim with people. If you walk along the streets you may find shops and stands selling anything from produce to trinkets. Sirens and car horns mix in among the loud music blaring from the shops and the shouting voices. This bustling city was Rebecca’s home for many years as a missionary kid.
Surrounded by the violence of kidnappings, guerrilla warfare, and abuse, she lived in fear daily. She had spent most of her adult life suppressing her fear and anxiety, trying to be stable enough to help others. “Even though I trusted in Jesus as my Lord and Savior at a young age and grew up in the church – I didn’t know true life in Christ.” |
