Dear Friends:

Congratulations Johannah Kraemer, Destiny Schaffer and Toby Schoel! These are our 8th grade graduates who are now moving on to their high school careers. We celebrated these students as well as all of the others with character awards, picture slideshows, a skit put on by the girls and treats at our Year End Recognition Ceremony just a couple short weeks ago. It was a wonderful evening, and we are so grateful for everyone who came to show their love and support of these kids and our ministry!

Please join us in praising Him for:

~One of the girls had the strength to tell her testimony at a meeting recently.

~The teens as they continue to work through their healing, their relationships with our Father are strengthening.

~Some of our students have already finished some of their classes and many are on target, if not ahead!

Please also join us in prayer for:

~Our teens as they are getting reacclimated to life at home with their families. Pray that they would take what they have learned here and apply it to their life beyond our walls. May they feel the Lord's presence wherever they are.

~ Respite care for some of our teens.

~The teens to continue to open up about their internal struggles and feelings, and that they would find true healing as they do.

~ Our staff as we are nearing the end of the year. May the Lord continue to soften our hearts.

Blessings,

Christen
