Changing from Glory to Glory

| Changing from Glory to Glory! |
It is the work of The 180 Center, Restoration center to take in the men who are ready to surrender their lives to God and the program. It is the transforming power of the Word of God and The Holy Spirit that changes them! One part of the program for the men is to be part of every church service and receive prayer during every ministry time. This time is a very powerful time, and is where we see anger and depression break off of people and lives are changed!
"Now all of us, with our faces unveiled, reflect the glory of the Lord as if we are mirrors; and so we are being transformed, metamorphosed, into His same image from one radiance of glory to another, just as the Spirit of the Lord accomplishes it."
2 Corinthians 3:18, The Voice translation
New Student
Bryan walked into the doors of 180 eight days ago. He had a rough past but has some friends and family who helped him to find this ministry. Bryan's story is a painful one and made my heart cry out for him. He has deep wounds that he tried to fill with drugs and eventually resulted in Bryan living in a friend's backyard. His friend took him to Goodwill for clothes and bought all the toiletries he would need too! We brought Bryan to 180 straight from church where he had a clean bed to sleep in, food for his belly, and shower. His rough exterior began to gave way to tears as we prayed for him. He still has a long way to go, but I believe in the miracle of redemption to change Bryan from the inside out!

| Morning visit from our neighboring pastor |
The pastor is from the Brazilian church that meets next door to us. He wanted to give the men some books as gifts. The library is slowly growing thanks to contributions of books from several different people! We can still use donations of school supplies, laundry detergent, deodorant, and other daily supplies.
Thank you for praying for The 180 Center, Restoration Center For Men. Don and I are missionaries under Victory Fellowship and are very grateful for one-time and monthly gifts of any amount to help us with our expenses.
