| Phoenix, Arizona Ministry Update: Crossroads Addiction Treatment Center: we continue to serve at a worship service inside Crossroads residential women’s drug rehab center. The Lord is moving in powerful ways among these women. After the service each week, the women stand in line for individual prayer, and they ask for breakthrough from strongholds, addictions, rage, legal challenges, reuniting with children, safety for their children who live in abusive environments, healing for family members, for peace and the ability to sleep at night, and much more. They shed tears and they say they can feel the presence of the Holy Spirit. I am so thankful to the Lord. Phoenix Dream Center: Weekly Women’s Development program continues at Phoenix Dream Center, a residential program for recovery from abuse, addition, prison re-entry, homelessness, and human trafficking. We have been ministering weekly at the Dream Center for over a year now. Since last October, another lady has been joining on this ministry team and can usually fill in whenever our ministry leader is out of town. We are wrapping up the Boundaries materials by Cloud & Townsend, and in March we will begin walking through “Helping Women Recover: A Program for Treating Addiction,” by Stephanie Covington, which is a powerful Christian recovery program.  The Homeless continue to be served through worship, the Word of God, prayer, meals, and clothing at the Monday evening outreach on Van Buren St. in Phoenix.HOPE in Christ Women’s Home: weekly program for Freedom from Strongholds, using Neil Anderson’s materials is ongoing with the ladies in the HOPE home. We are blessed to have another godly woman serving with us at this program, and she was able to fill in for us while we were in India. One sad piece of news to share is one of the women from the HOPE Home left and has returned to the streets. Her baby is with relatives. Please pray for Baby Michael’s protection and for the Lady’s addiction to be broken and to return to the Lord. Thank you so much for your love, prayers, and financial support of this ministry. We are so blessed and thankful for your partnership. Click to GiveJesus said, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
