The construction of the new house is coming
along well, the electricity work is already done and the lights are installed, this
week we are installing the toilets and sinks. Also the iron gates are installed
and the entrance is made out of concrete. We also worked to make the front wall
higher. We are thankful with all of you that have helped us building this house. Our
desire for this house was to move teens into it, but during this time we have
been praying the Lord to show us what his will for this amazing building is.
Lately God has showed us that there is a need to re-open a Rehab Center for
women, because the problem of drug and alcoholism in Guatemala is the same for
women and men. Most of the problems related to abandoned children are caused because
both parents are having problems with alcohol and drugs. The sad reality is
that there are many Rehab Centers for men but not for women. We have been
ministering the Lord Jesus to children and men for several years, but now we
believe that it is the time to start working with women that are desperate and
without any hope.
The church is doing fine, but we know that
the church has to continue growing therefore Sonia and some staff from the
Rehab are evangelizing children from the neighborhood to attend Sunday School
to meet the Lord Jesus with the hope that one day their families are going to join
us in church.
