Breakthrough

La Raza was just open for 2 days this week - Monday and Friday. On Monday Andrew and Alex counselled one of the girls for salvation. When Andrew asked why she wanted to be saved she simply said. "I need help!" That seems an excellent response. Pray for her in the days ahead that she will grow in her new found faith.

On Friday the team showed the film 'Facing the Giants'. It has been shown here at various groups and there is always an open response. This time was no exception. After the film the speaker at the retreat who went to visit the ministry gave an invitation. Four kids responded. It was incredible. What a week! Praise God! There will be a very different dynamic at the Centre this week. We need to surround these kids with our prayers especially in the early days.

On Friday Andrew had a meeting with the area manager for 14 Starbucks stores. They want to donate any left over food to the ministry from all 14 stores. They also want to run a 2 week campaign collecting whatever the team feel appropriate e.g. blankets, clothes, toys etc. This too is an incredible provision and we are overwhelmed by how God is moving.

This week the team will be going out into the community around La Raza to assess the needs and invite neighbours to a talk about the ministry. This will be like a first service...or second after the drama presentation a couple of weeks ago. Please pray for a good response and for continued good relationships in the community.
