Seven Glimpses of Hope
Seven Days. Seven Original Songs. Seven Videos.
All for one cause: rescuing and restoring street children.
May 24th-30th
The Open Arms Foundation
About
In seven days, we want to show you the reality of children living on the streets of Medellin, Colombia: where they sleep, what they do, and how they survive.
We want to show you the glimpses of hope coming from those same streets.
The Open Arms Foundation is working every day to build relationships, bring hope, and restore the street children through the love of Jesus Christ.
Join us as we bring light to the needs of these children. And in the process, we hope you will join us with your open arms.
