Victory and New Things to come!

We are really excited about what is going on around here. The services here in Garça and in Marilia have been great. The numbers are constant but most important is that we are always having new people coming. In both places we have had many teens and some parents to come.
Here at the home things are moving on. We have had many victories. One big victory is about Gestal. Gestal used to live here at the home. We now have his mom and siblings here living with us. Their house had fallen in. When the prosecutor found out that Gestal was here he had him taken to another home here in Garça. The prosecutor was very determined not to let him come and live here. Actually he told Gestal’s mom that if she wanted her son that she would have to leave alpha and omega. Her answer to him was that she would not leave. Because when she didn’t have any where to live and had no food to feed her kids no one cared. She only found help at Alpha and omega. Well to cut the story short, the judge singed for Gestal to came and live with his family here with us!!!! We praise God for this victory!!!!!!
We are working on some projects to work with kids some in the morning and some in the afternoon. Kids here only go to school half day. We want to have more time with those who are coming to church. We are planning on helping them with school work, painting, Jewelry, hygiene, sports, manners and so on. This past week we have been completely redoing our library. We are taking out books that we don’t need and making a list of new ones we need. We are also working on the classrooms to get the ready for the projects that will be done in each class. Most of the classrooms are in good shape and do not need much work done. For classes like beauty and hair care we will need to make some adaptations. If we have a good number of teen boys around 15years old or more we will also have classes in electronics. This is really important to have for the older boys because this city is known for its factories that make electronic components. We are really excited. We also plan on having the same kind o projects in Marilia. We will also have a time for teaching bible lessons and principals for daily living.
