註釋Terry L. Dorn tells his life story in Angel on the Streets. It is a story of child abuse, living on the streets, finding God, and redemption. “My father was German and my mother was of Jewish background. I was born in 1944 during the war with Germany. My father ran our home like a prison camp,” Terry says. He was tortured as a child and ran away from home at age ten. “At first I slept in abandoned houses, railroad freight cars, and under porches. The authorities picked me up many times and sent me back home. I lived in foster homes, juvenile centers, and mental hospitals.” Terry became a gang leader and was hospitalized for mental illness several times as a teenager. “I learned from people that reached out to me that there is a Heavenly Father, not a cold-hearted God, and he cares for people like me. In the end, many street people started calling me ‘The Chaplain to the Streets.’ I spend much of my time reaching those who are thrown away and forgotten.” He wanted to tell his story to bring hope to the homeless. “Many of my close friends from the late sixties, while living on the street, committed suicide. There was hope, there is hope today. Every person has a gift, a talent to offer the rest of our world. I made it through!”
