4. About Dr. Rev. Teresa Stamman:
- Medical Doctor, Missionary, Evangelist, Head of Operations at City of Refuge
Teresa was raised in the nation of Peru. Her father was a successful business man, and her mother was a school teacher. She has four sisters and one brother. Teresa grew up in a very compassionate and loving family. Her father always helped people in the community, especially the poor. Teresa studied medicine after high school and chose and eventually moved to Poland to continue her education. This was during the communist rule. She was privileged to witness the fall of the Berlin Wall and Poland’s freedom from communism. Teresa was always spiritually inclined. Even so, she remained skeptical about Christianity. One day she asked God, “Show me you are real! He did. Then she had a dream of uniformed children marching like little soldiers. She asked God what it meant. The Lord showed her that, “These are the future generations in the world, and if we don’t take care of that generation, it will be lost.” She had a vision of a huge clock that was ticking and going very fast, and this frightened her. She asked the Lord what that meant. The Lord said, “Time is running out – the clock is ticking!”
She met Tom in North Carolina, and they were married in 2004. Teresa or “Momma Teresa” as she is known in Honduras, is a True Jill of all trades. Her ability to simultaneously juggle and manage so many tasks and challenges at the City of Refuge is nothing less than supernatural. Watching Teresa in action is proof positive that God has His hand in every aspect of her life.
