Pastora Carmen Colon-Brown

I was mesmerized by Pastora's stories of her childhood that related so closely to Negi's life. I was shocked to hear first hand about the abuse she endured especially with regards to being shot at with BB guns. I learned a lot about the culture and some of the traditions I didn't know much about. I appreciated her candid nature while being very informative. I think her ministry and outreach is amazing and how she is doing this all on her own with the time and resources that she has. Her dedication and wealth of knowledge about meeting these people where they're at and going from there is refreshing. She seems to think of everything and supports people in a variety of ways such as transportation, prayer, girl's self-esteem groups, ESL classes and Citizenship test prep. I really enjoyed her presentation and all the information an insight I gained from it.

  1. I could not believe how much she does by herself. I also enjoyed her presentation. So much of what i had read was reflected in her memories.
