They are growing up...

These beautiful ladies and handsome young men are the members of our mentor program. You probably recognize them all, as they have grown up with us in our group homes over the past 4-5 years.



Those who we used to refer to as "kids" in our houses are now our very own adolescents in our two mentor apartments! They are definitely growing up. We are blessed to have Marius as the boy's mentor and Gabi working with the girls in their apartment as a mentor. Cornel & Maria joined the program this summer and we are in the process of getting approval for Adi to move in this fall.




Please pray for those who will be starting school in the coming weeks. Several are making a big transition into high school and are excited and anxious. Others are continuing in school or are finished with the schooling that they are able to do and are going to be looking for jobs this fall. Please pray that they would make the effort to look and be hard workers once they find a job. It is hard for them to adapt to the concept that work is a normal part of life and that it is a natural next step. Thank you for your ongoing prayers and support for these young people.
