News & prayer

Men @ work!
We send you greetings from Stephan and Marianne Barendse, Teen Challenge De Spetse Hoeve, Groningen, here in Holland. Last weekend we visited them and had such a good time together. As you can see in the picture Jan was able to offer some practical help :)

The spring weather was gorgeous and we joyfully celebrated the first bbq of 2012. We had more than just a good time because we also had a very powerful prayer time together. Many people, programs and needs came up and of course we prayed for all other Teen Challenge centers as well, especially for Serbia.

Don't forget to watch this video, a powerful testimony of one of the guys in the program and spring greetings from Stephan and the team!
Women's center

As far as our project for Teen Challenge Raskrsce, Servië is concerned... Please take a look at the pictures of the women's home, established in 2008. It has cost blood, sweat and tears to build a beautiful home like this. The work must go on, the need is too big to stop this work. Please keep praying for our brothers and sisters in Serbia who are struggling to survive.

Dorm room
We have received several responses to our plea, to temporary step up for Serbia by donating $100 per month. But not enough! Maybe $100 (or 100 euro when in Europe) is too big of a sacrifice for some. We would like to encourage you then: BE CREATIVE! Try to find 4 family members, friends, co-workers or church members who can donate $25. Together it will make $100, enough for another sponsorship. Or maybe 10 people who want to give 10, do it as a team...

Well, you all get the idea. If you want to be a sponsor, send us an email janandmarja@gmail.com
