Dear ACC Family,
We are excited about how God is transforming lives through the ministry at the rehab center.
Luis, in his mid-twenties, is getting close to completing his time there (9-12 months is recommended). His mom died when he was a baby, his dad died several years later. He grew up on his own, living in abandoned buildings and slowly getting into drugs. One day, he saw people from the center picking up someone else and decided he needed to change and asked to be taken. He has grown in his relationship with God, learning more about Him and learning how to lead and serve others in the center. Lately he has been one of the main cooks for center, and will speak up and encourage the others to make good choices. When Luis leaves the center, hew wants to become a missionary and share God’s love and grace with others.
Antonio is another guy, in his 40s, who has also experiencing the transforming power of the Gospel in his life and marriage. His wife called Rodrigo (the pastor of our church plant) and had Antonio taken to the center, and then walked away from him, wanting nothing more to do with him. God has been transforming his life, helping him recognize his errors and the ways he has hurt his wife and daughter. He has been praying for his wife’s salvation for the last six months and in February, she was baptized and has decided to give Antonio another chance, visiting once a week when possible. He is learning to love and care for his family.
Pray for the men and women in the rehab center to recognize their mistakes and ways they’ve hurt others, to place their faith in Jesus, allow God to mold them, and impact their families and friends with the transforming power of Jesus. Thank you so much for your prayers and support for our ministries like the rehab center that brings God’s healing to both individuals and their families.
