His Hand at Work

It is so incredible to be a part of what God is doing. We knew that when we heard His call that we would be in for the adventure of a lifetime. As I write this I am overwhelmed with emotion and still in awe that He is using us to make a difference.

I want to share a couple things that He is doing so that you can get a glimpse at the Greatness of our God. First you know that Rosalia is attending Chef courses. Here she is with her certificate for completing her first class. She is overwhelmed that so many people answered the call and helped make it possible for her to attend the classes. She has a glow about her and is so excited and cannot wait for the next class. Her new skills will help the Cafe move to the next level and she in turn will be able to train the rest of the kitchen staff.

You will see the three gentleman pictured in their new uniforms. They are looking sharp and now have to make sure we keep the girls from getting to close. Well that last part I am kidding about. Part of building a strong reputation is looking professional and the new uniform has put smiles on their faces and you can see the pride they have for their positions and for themselves.


We have, with the help of donors, installed a Point Of Sale system. We have wanted to puchase this system for a while but just recently had enough donations where we could finally get it. Below you will see David and Dennis already mastering the system.

Each morning the staff gather together to pray over the day and to invite God to use us, to open our eyes and hearts to see and hear from Him, to help us pour His love into all we do. Our devotions each day are so perfect for each day and we feel like He is speaking specifically to us. Well we know He is speaking but it is a book we are working through and it is amazing how each days devotion seems to fit perfectly for where we are and what we are going through.

I had to be reminded that in the states people are getting ready to celebrate Independence Day and how fitting that this blog be posted now. We are celebrating another type of independence. We are celebrating the awesome power of God and the independence He gives us when we become His children. Watching how God has liberated these young people is worth all the blood, sweat and tears that have been shed.

Thank you for your faithful support in prayer, giving and even joining us here to help make an eternal difference.
