“I bring you Good News that will bring joy to all people. The Savior, yes the Messiah, the Lord has been born today in Bethlehem, the City of David.” Luke 2:9,10
What an amazing announcement! The world had just received the greatest gift in history. The best news about Jesus coming to earth is, no matter what stature, rich or poor, black or white, young or old, the Good News of the birth of Jesus Christ is for all of us.
Whoever you are, whatever you have done, He extends his hand to you to have Him in your life. AND, He accepts you just the way you are.
The effects of sin in people’s lives often keep them from seeking a relationship with Jesus Christ. “Our Girls” on the inside and those that join us in Celebrate Recovery on the “Outside” don’t let feelings of guilt and condemnation keep them from their only means of restoration.
Through their childhoods, some knew God, others turned their back on Him when times got tough and then there are others who have never heard about this Jesus that came to earth nearly 2,000 years ago.
Some have waited many years to find this compassionate Jesus that loves them unconditionally. He patiently awaits His children to turn to him and find peace, joy and recovery for their lives.
As we celebrate the birth of Jesus our Savior this Christmas, we are thankful for the many that have surrendered their lives to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
To some the greatest gift they will receive this Christmas season will be the relationship they developed with Jesus that has brought healing and peace into their lives through the Celebrate Recovery program.
We are thankful for each of you, our partners in ministry, for your prayers, words of encouragement and financial support for ourselves and the ministry. Together we are seeing broken lives being healed and set free.
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
