Dear Brothers and Sisters,
We hope you and your dear ones are doing well. It is a
blessing to continue sharing with you the updates of the ministry.
While I am writing this letter, some demonstrations and
protests are taking place in front of the rehab center. This is the ninth day
of demonstrations throughout the country due to the corruption within the
government. No one can leave their city because they have blocked the streets
and the situation is getting more and more difficult because the supermarkets
and markets have been closed due to lack of products and lack of
transportation. All the prices are getting high and it is impossible to buy
vegetables and grains. Please keep Guatemala in your prayers because many sick
people are suffering due to the situation.
The rehab center is doing well. We currently have 30 men; and it is a blessing to have about 15 of the men that are growing in their faith. This week, three men finished the program and another two accepted another commitment as assistant counselors. It is the first time in three years that we have two full counselors and three assistant counselors. We have been praying for the Lord to touch their hearts and now we can see His response and it is a joy to our hearts! Every day is a spiritual struggle but we know that God is the One who fights for the souls of these men so that they can be the light and the salt of this country.
As the church of Christ, let's keep our faith firm in him and pray for each other because the times in which we are living are dangerous and definitely end times. As the Bible says in Hebrews 12:2 Looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
God bless you and thanks for your love and support.
Sincerely,
Victor Barbella
