Erin’s Testimony of Faith

Earlier this year, I received this letter from Erin McKinney who came to the Shalom Center with a group from the Ohio Region.  I have asked her permission to share her letter with you.  As you can imagine, it filled me with many reason to say, “¡Gloria a Dios!” (Glory to God!)  I hope that you enjoy the testimony of this young woman who was transformed by a short spiritual pilgrimage into another culture and county.

Shalom,

Elena Huegel

Hola Elena,

This is Erin McKinney from Ohio.  I came down with an Ohio Disciples group (Jon Rumberg and Laura Fitt-Baird) to the Shalom Center in 2005. 

 I’m writing for two reasons; to say hello and hear how you’re doing and also to THANK YOU!
