Half-way House

The drug and alcohol rehab center "Forjando Nuevos Destinos" is starting a new ministry; a half-way house for men who have graduated from the center, but are not quite ready for life on the outside. They are planning a half-way house to hold about 25 men. These men will receive more indepth discipleship training, and will have the opportunity to learn a trade like electricity, welding, cement masonry, etc.


The men from the center are working at the site, they have cleared away an old building,



built a wall,


and poured the foundation for the new two story building.


A group from 3rd Christian Reformed Church of Denver will be helping us to frame the building later this month. We are excited about this new ministry. Please pray for Carlos and his leadership team, and the mother church "Cristo Arca de Salvación".

Wow, the guys from the center sure know how to do a "total home makeover!" I'm sure they are excited to be closer to a place of their own to stay, study, and grow. Looking forward to seeing how it looks after the group from Denver puts their construction skills to use!
