Rehab

This week Andrew went with one of the UNIFAM pastors to a very interesting rehab centre run by a member of his church. It mainly focuses on alcoholics and at the meeting he attended on Wednesday evening the pastor gave a gospel message with great liberty and all prayed to accept Jesus as their personal Saviour. There were about 70 people there including family members who were free to air their feelings to the people seeking rehab. Those feelings ranged from, "Please do this, your family needs you" to utter anger and verbal abuse!

The program is an AA program and seems to be successful but Andrew hopes to be able to meet up with the guy who runs it to discuss an UNIFAM rehab centre. There is a real need for a rehab centre not just for street kids but for the whole of the UNIFAM churches and one that is firmly based on the Word of God. The one that we visited is not. Please pray for wisdom as we continue to investigate this together with the pastors.
