A childhood of brokenness, an alcoholic father and a life of poverty left Adrian desperate for help. As a teen he triumphed and succeeded in sports, always taking first place. No matter how hard he performed, feelings of insecurity haunted him.
At the age of 15 Adrian turned to drugs to bury his pain. “I thought I was in control of the drugs, alcohol, unhealthy relationships and dysfunctional behaviors,” Adrian stated. It wasn’t until he came to Celebrate Recovery and applied Step1 to his life that he started to experience true freedom. STEP 1: We admit we have no power over our addictions and compulsive behaviors, that our lives are unmanageable.” Adrian recognized that only through Jesus Christ could he find the strength to overcome his addictions.
He started to attend Celebrate Recovery with his wife Lola. But the couple didn’t stop there. They have been trained and now facilitate Celebrate Recovery Step Studies at Calvary Chapel Rosarito. Getting involved in CR has impacted Adrian’s life, which included reshaping his career life, deepening his faith in God, saving his marriage and finding guidance for keeping him clean and sober. Out of the ASHES of sin God has brought VICTORY into Adrian’s life.

This month has been filled with great opportunities to reach out to “Our Girls” on the inside at the Ensenada Prison. Our team had a great time hosting a Movie Event and serving at a Mothers Day event. We are thankful for the opportunity to hand out personal gift bags at both events. Thank you to the many that give generously so we in turn could give to those in great need.

Recently our daughter Rebekah and 17 month old grandson Sawyer spent a week with us. Sawyer experienced a lot of firsts while visiting. First time on an airplane, first time playing in the ocean, and so much more. We love having family and friends visit.

We want to thank you for your financial support. None of the changes in people lives could happen without your help.
Blessings,
Rod & Cheryl
