Don’t you love how God guides us where He can use us to glorify his name? He gives us opportunities to use our gifts and talents no matter what age we are. Saskia came to YUGO Ministries five years ago to serve at the ROC (Rosarito Outreach Center). She was a mere 15 years of age filled with energy, passion and a heart to serve. Just recently Saskia returned to the ROC leading a team (mostly family) on a house build for an underprivileged family. We know God has a plan and a purpose for Saskia’s life and look forward to hearing how He will use her to expand His Kingdom.
Saskia's team and the family they will build for
Rod and I recently attended the Celebrate Recovery Summit. 2,500 people attended the conference at Saddle Back Church. It was incredible to hear stories of how lives are changed as individuals use this Christian 12 step program to draw them closer to Jesus and be healed from their hurts, habits and hang-ups. It is beautiful to see how God is using the CR program to touch the lives of “Our Girls” (female prisoners) in the Ensenada Prison. The prisons in Mexico are grim places with vile conditions. Celebrate Recovery has helped “Our Girls” deal with their brokenness and has given them hope for the future.
Books in hand and ready to learn more about CR
Many of “Our Girls” no longer continue to dwell in their sins from their pasts. They turn to God, accept His forgiveness and change their ways. They have a fresh start even though they have been wounded and crushed by the events of their lives. God is healing and comforting them. Please continue to pray for them that they remain in Him even when they are released from the prison. Many express their fear of returning to their homes, afraid they will fall back into their old lifestyles. They need your prayers to remain strong.
