Open Arms - House of Miracles

Drugs, gang violence and prostitution are, sadly, part of life for many in South Central Los Angeles, California. The constant racial strife, crime and abject poverty have tormented the neighborhood for decades. Into this dark cloud of anger and hopelessness comes a Northern Montana couple with a simple vision: to reach “the lost, the least and the lonely” with God’s love. When Doug and Cathy Kelley left the security of their Montana businesses and arrived in Burbank in 1998, little did they know they’d end up living in a tiny apartment on one of the most dangerous streets in LA. They had no idea they’d be planting a church called Open Arms Christian Center among the poorest of the poor. But God knew. Open Arms – House of Miracles is no ordinary book. It’s the Kelley’s hard-hitting and poignant story about people whose broken lives have been miraculously transformed by a loving God. In this book you’ll find: • Murderers who received forgiveness • Addicts who found freedom • Transgenders who experienced acceptance • Losers who became leaders The stories in Open Arms range from Pitbulls to bullet holes. You’ll see how Jesus can turn a person’s mess into their own message. Do miracles happen today? You’ll find them here.
