September 2021 Newsletter

SEPTEMBER 2021 BEFORE AFTER DONALDSON PROJECT COMPLETED   We are very proud of our LCC and the Handy Man project for transforming this home. It was a good construction boot camp for the students. During their hours on the project they are challenged in many different ways; spiritually, mentally and physically. This is a great program to help students grow in their home making skills but also allows them to practice work ethic and teamwork skills. Being a team player will help them outside the program in their community and at any job site or work environment. It is important to carry this character trait because it will make them stand out and be the light in any place. It is amazing to be able to work with people that are completely different than you and still be a successful team.  ALEX & YULIYA We would like to congratulate one of our LCC alumni and staff member on his engagement! Our hearts rejoice when we witness God blessing his children. May God bless the new couple as they prepare for their big day!  The LCC program loves to see our graduates using the skills they have learned in their lives, especially when its for the glory of God. This alumni is now a missionary in Mexico and has been very grateful for all that the LCC program has taught her.  "God has completely opened my heart to be here in Mexico. The center program has helped me a lot, especially being in the kitchen. It really prepared me and I can use many tips and ideas that I have learned in the center as I prepare meals with whatever produce we have here. The center also teaches you to have ministries and as a missionary I am equipped and have experience on how to serve. The center also helped me spiritually, it taught me to take fasts and have a prayer life. It taught me to bring everything before God and have a relationship with Him. I run to Him with all my problems and questions. I can apply a lot of those lessons and experiences here and be a team player. I can truly say that the center prepares, restores, cleanses, heals and equips you, and then sends you off. It is a humbling and hard experience at first but in the end you grow so much. The center was a true blessing." - LCC Alumni Lena Please help us by supporting the GWP Mexico project. There is a newly opened orphanage and a lot of home accessories and furniture are still needed.

Vlad has finished the program successfully and has dedicated his life to Jesus. Vlad has a serving heart and has volunteered his time to counsel and help others who are battling addiction. We pray that God gives him wisdom, patience and love. We are glad to have him in our mission to help restore peoples lives through the love and grace of God!  TESTIMONY  "I want to share how God has been merciful in my life. When I was still in addiction my family was always praying for God to change my life. God was knocking at my heart. I have been involved in eight serious car accidents. People usually get really injured or die from these kinds of accidents. By Gods mercy and love I didn't get any broken bones or any injuries from them. I want to give all the praise and thanksgiving to my Lord for protecting me all those years." - LCC Student   A transformational journey through drug and alcohol addiction.
