Project Teen Challenge rehab centers Berdichyv, Ukraine

As we reported in a previous post, the project for our secondhand shops Twinkeltje and de Schor for the month of September is the work of our friends Sergey & Irina Romanenko from Teen Challenge in Berdichyv, Ukraine.

It is very encouraging for us to see and hear that the work in the various men's and women's rehab centers continues, despite the challenges of an ongoing war.

Many have recently completed the rehabilitation program, which is always a reason to celebrate. Most of them walk in depressed, addicted, and distraught. They are in the center for about twelve months, reading the Bible, following group studies, and learning to live again. Sergey wrote to us about this (his daughter-in-law translates for us in English):

"Shalom, dear friends, I want to share news from the rehab centers. God is alive, amen! We have good news, thirteen students have successfully completed the program, eleven of them have made a covenant with God (Twila, the baptism).

God is working in Ukraine and saving people who were on the way to death. New spiritual leaders are rising up in the centers. Three students have been called up for the army. We pray for them and maintain relationships."

How nice to hear they continue, with unstoppable passion, to help people overcome their addictions and traumas and start a new life with Jesus Christ.

There is, of course, always a need for financial support. To make repairs and build expansions, to buy beds and food and furniture, to renovate the kitchen etc. etc. We have been supporting them for years and will continue to do so.
