New Rehabs in Ensenada-Aug 2021

Come and see what the Lord has done, what awesome miracles he performs for his people.” Psalms 66:5

 We have the cure for the human heart! Ok, what’s the cure for the human heart?  Drawing people closer to Jesus by using the Celebrate Recovery materials.  By drawing people closer to Jesus, Jesus brings transformation into their lives! 

After launching CR Step Studies by ZOOM and Face to Face in our local church, we are in awe that over 80 people have joined us on the Road to Recovery. This is our largest group yet since launching the program in 2014. These are not just addicts, but people desiring to be set free from their hurts, habits, and hang-ups. 

 Church leaders from various parts of Mexico join us for our monthly CR Advanced Leadership Training.  In the past few months, the Celebrate Recovery program has been launched in two rehab centers in Ensenada:


1.      Angel Zumaya , and his wife Cinthia, enter into an adult rehab center called Espigas Nuevas bringing hope to the male and female residents.




2.      Peter Yee, and his group, bring The Landing (CR’s youth materials) to the youth in a rehab center called Vida Cristiana Jóvenes.

 

These adults and youth are on an amazing journey being set free from destructive cycles that led them into hopelessness.  We are blessed to see others catch the vision of reaching the lost and broken. God has called us to bring healing and hope to his broken people. He has brought others, many others to carry out his work.

GREAT NEWS! The Ensenada Prison has re-opened their doors! The re-opening, naturally, comes with many restrictions.  But the point is that my Prison Ministry team is able to continue to bring the Good News through the Celebrate Recovery program to those beautiful daughters of the King on the inside.


 Karla (top photo) and Ana (bottom photo) are amazing women of God. Both serve in the Prison Ministry. Thank you ladies for your love and dedication to "Our Girls" on this inside

COVID was a time of growth for “Our Girls” on the inside. Pastora Jasso took advantage of the situation.  All the women, who have given their hearts to Jesus, gave a devotional every morning.  Each woman, a different morning.  Each devotional was presented to all the women in the prison. God has used the negative circumstances of COVID to welcome new children into His family.  And His Holy Spirit is already convicting the hearts and minds of his new daughters to spread His Word and love. 

August 1 marked the 17th anniversary of serving in Mexico. Francisco and I feel your love, your encouragement, prayers, and generosity. As we walk this Road to Recovery together, we see God’s hand moving in powerful ways, touching lives. It is such an honor to be your partners in the Mexico Recovery Ministry.

Francisco and I are well. We have enjoyed this last couple months, Francisco set aside his studying for church planting so we could visit some nearby sights on our day off. By the time he hits the books again, he will feel rested and ready for the next semester.

Please keep us in prayer as we await the borders to open. My heart aches to see my family in Canada!

Blessings,

Cheryl & Francisco
