I hope that all of you are having a wonderful Christmas season. There have been some exciting new developments with Ruth’s House.
Nicol earned her high school diploma, completing her accelerated program to finish her last two years of high school in one year. The next big step in her life will be to look for a part time job as we strategize about how she might take technical courses at an institute to further her education. Please keep these next two steps in your prayers.
Ruth, the girl who will be moving into Ruth’s House next January, graduated from high school, finishing near the top of her class. She is preparing for her entrance exams to get into a public university in order to study in the medical field. I recently had the pleasure of celebrating her graduation at an event held by the ministry that currently cares for her (pictured below):
One common question I’ve received over the past several months from supporters is whether the transition house will need additional staff to help with the projected growth of the ministry (we anticipate having close to 10 girls within the next four years). The Lord graciously responded to that need far in advance by providing Regina (pictured above).
Regina is a German missionary who will not only be serving at Ruth’s House, but the children’s home Talita Cumi as well. This is particularly strategic because she can cultivate relationships with the older girls at the children’s home before they move into Ruth’s House. Furthermore, Regina will be living with Nicol for a month while Raquel returns to Spain for Christmas. Please pray for Regina as she fosters a relationship with Nicol.
