While working with a fellow pastor here that travels into remote areas, Chris learned of a Drug Rehab center where almost 35 men are literally out in the middle of nowhere. They sit in a room with not even 4 walls until they are "dried out". Then there is another pastor there to help them & teach them about Jesus. There is barely enough money to feed these men & there are no resources to help them in their new walk with Christ. Chris was on his way to this facility when he had his accident that I mentioned before. He was able to bless them with some food & literature. Pictured are some of the men & Isaiah packaging menthol cream that is made & packaged to sell to buy food for the men in the center.
The cool part of the story is that a student at the Assemblies of God school here heard of the need & contacted some local pastors. Now this forgotten group of people has several churches that want to help them with a better building, better kitchen facilities, & resources. What an amazing indigenous concept... Venezuelans helping Venezuelans.
