R12 House

Sorry for the radio silence friends, whew, things got a bit busy there.  Tons of exciting stuff has been happening in our neck of the woods, and I am happy to be finally writing to tell you about it!

Well at the end of February we moved 2 men into our NEW transition House.  Which has now been named......drum roll please......the R12 house.  We are excited to be a place where men are transformed by the gospel of Christ and by community!!  (read Romans 12).

 

 Pictured above is the "alpha" group of the R12 house.  From the left, our male support staff Anoroy, Quinton, Frank, Johnny and Rachel, our female support staff.  We have enjoyed extending our family to include the house across the alley from the Bolivar house.

Because of being able to take custody of his children Quinton moved out but is still an active part of our church and we are hoping he will still come visit us at the Bolivar house this summer, so his kids can play with ours!  Frank has been an amazing addition to our house.  He has said that this house has been an unbelievable answer to prayer.  He can't believe how comfortable his transition out has been thanks to all the people around him suppoting and welcoming him.  We look forward to watching Frank build a garden this summer!  Johnny is working to move home to be closer to his beautiful daughter and his dad and grandmother.  We will be sad to see him go but we feel fortunate to have been part of his transition story. 

D'Angelo joined us just 5 days ago, I look forward to getting a new  picture with him in it and one other guest we hope will be joining us on May 10th.  It is my goal to keep introducing you to the men whose lives are changing due to your support of our community.

We haven't figured out how yet but we do still need to raise a HUGE amount of money to buy this house....don't forget you can click on the donate button on the top right hand corner of this page to contribute to our purchase of this property.

Please be praying for the men in this house that God would provide for their needs and that they would accept the love and care of our community.   Praise God for what He is doing!!!!
