One Heart Global Ministries:
In areas of great poverty it is not uncommon for undeserved populations to struggle with depression, hopelessness, violence, mal-nutrition, chronic diseases, parasites, and all forms of abuse. Sadly, the family unit is often the most impacted. Families are not always safe or a place of protection for children and without this connection, many children often are abandoned and left to survive on their own. In this environment, there is truly a sense that only the strongest survive.
As a native Ecuadorian, Katty Aguirre personally understands these struggles. Growing up on the border of Columbia and Ecuador, she was exposed to danger and violence every day. Katty grew up feeling rejected, and struggling to survive and meet the most basic of natural needs. After many long and difficult years living in these circumstances, she was introduced to the message of the Gospel.
After first rejecting this message, she soon started to hunger to learn more about the hope and love that was promised to her. When she opened her heart to be loved, she experienced a radical change in her life. The service and love that was extended to her by missionaries gave her the family that she yearned for and created within her a deep desire to see her own people rise from the depths of poverty and despair to experience the love that family and relationship with a loving God can bring.
