Thanks!

Yesterday we had LOTS of rain, even thunder and lightning. Rain means mud, especially in places like Terrazas where the Rehab center is, so the guys had a "rain day". Today Harv and Ed completed the last drawers under the new bunk beds in the new dormatory.

The men at the rehab center held a thanksgiving service for them in the afternoon and prayed for them and their families. They are grateful that 12 men now have their own bed!

Harv and Ed completed their work at the rehab center early and helped us put up trim board in the sancturary at Agua Viva. Tomorrow they head back to Michigan, if they don't end up with a snow delay!

Update on the Rehab center

This week Harv Koetje and Ed Holstege from Rusk CRC of Zeeland, Michigan, are building bunk beds for one of the new dormatories at the Rehab center. There are 12 new beds complete with a storage drawer underneath!

The rehab center now houses over 80 guys, and many do not have beds or are sharing single beds. We continue to build better facilities, and this new dorm room is part of the two-story construction which began this spring.

The 6th of December the Rehab center held a graduation for 30 men who completed the 3 month program. Many stay on for a longer time, up to two years. There are plans to build a half-way house for graduates to help them to readapt to life on the outside. This would also give them an opportunity to continue their Bible studies and be part of a discipleship program. Several graduates have already become members of the mother church "Cristo, Arca de Salvacion" and hope to someday study at the Bible institute.

Pray for Carlos Vazques and his leadership team as they direct the ministry at the center and as they plan for the new half-way house.
