A Faithful God! - March Update

There are so many blessings to be thankful for in this season! This past month, we celebrated two more men graduating from the program. Be sure to check out their testimonies in the videos to the right.
It has truly been an honor to witness these men not only complete the program, but step into a new life in Jesus. They are no longer living as slaves to sin, but as workers for the Kingdom of God.
These past months have been filled with graduations, and we are seeing the fruit of the work. Since September, 13 men have graduated. Of those, 12 are continuing to walk in sobriety and are actively living out the Great Commission. Disciples making disciples. That’s a current success rate of 92%, and we praise God for holding them close in the palm of His hand.
Our program is currently serving around 40 men. We have grown in both capacity and reputation, and there is now a waiting list of men hoping to enter. The harvest is plentiful, and we desire to be faithful workers in it. Many in the community have noted that the town of Jacó feels noticeably different from a few years ago, with fewer men on the streets. We give God all the glory for that transformation.
It has also been incredible to see these men reintegrate into society. Stepping into their roles as fathers and husbands, and shifting from survival on the streets to becoming generous givers who serve others. They are truly becoming the hands and feet of Jesus.
Chloe's pregnancy is going well. She is about 27 weeks. It has flown by for us. We understand that our lives will change in big and hard ways, while also being so, so grateful for our little boy. As both our family and the ministry continue to grow, there are many moving parts in this season. Our invitation is for you to be aware of our needs and to join us in prayer. Whether you feel led to help directly or pray for God to bring the right people into the mission, we thank you!
Personal needs/Prayer Requests:
Before we had our baby on the way, we were right at the goal of our monthly fundraising amount. As we have our boy coming, expenses are growing and will continue to grow. This means we need more monthly partners. We ask for your prayers over this need. If you are not partnered with us, the invitation is to pray about joining our team. If you are partnered with us, thank you deeply. The invitation is to prayerfully consider increasing your monthly giving or inviting others into this mission.
We are also looking to sell our current vehicle and purchase a newer, more reliable one for our growing family. This process can feel overwhelming, so we ask for prayer for God’s guidance and provision every step of the way.
We have many baby items to get from the States. If you are interested in helping, check out our registry here.
Ministry Prayers:
Pray for our leaders. That they will walk by God's Spirit. That they will be strengthened, encouraged, and bold for the Gospel. For their desire to make disciples to grow each day.
Pray for the men in our program. That they will surrender themselves to the will of God. To not hold onto the former ways of life, but walk in obedience to Christ.
