It's time for some project updates, so you can see how your gifts are being spent. Let's take a tour of Europe 😀
In April we wrote about Teen Challenge Albania and the expansion of the men's house with a number of beds and the purchase of solar panels for hot water.
The solar panels have been purchased and placed on the roof. A big job where all that manpower came in handy!
On behalf of Orges Hysenaj and the men in the program, thank you for your donations and support.
They have started with the renovation project: tearing down the current wall and building a new wall. They will furthermore purchase two windows and a door, and finish walls and floors.
The last phase will be painting and buying furniture! On behalf of Boris Å trbac and his team, thank you very much for your donations!
It is wonderful to see how materials are being purchased locally and how hard the teams work. Really great!
Somehow you received a message from last August about
Teen Challenge Austria in your mailbox. As a result thereof we received donations for their street outreach. Beautiful!
Mirko Mitrovic writes:
"We are really amazed at what God has been doing in the past months, despite the ongoing lockdown in Austria. Since we had to stop our coffee house project due to government restrictions, we started focusing on our street outreaches"
Every week the team visits the drug hotspots in Vienna and distributes coffee to the people. They get to share their testimonies, pray for the people and build relationships with them and encourage them to believe for miracles in their lives and take steps towards freedom.
"Before Christmas and Easter, we did special outreaches, where we each distributed 200 packages to drug addicts. The packages included some sweets, hats/gloves for Christmas and socks for Easter, coffee, info material about Reset (TC Austria), and two testimonies of how God has set me and another team member free from addiction."
It turns out people are really grateful and open for prayer and allow God to touch their hearts. On behalf of Mirko Mitrovic, thank you very much for your donations!
And then there's the project
CIC Mission community center in
Georgia. There is also a lot of hard work going on there. Last week we received some photos that clearly show how construction work is progressing.
Last month we were able to send them a gift for the construction of a community center next to the existing Bible school. This should be a space that can be used as a coffee house, children's area, and business center.
On behalf of Reza Nadirashvili, thank you for your donations!
