It was a drizzly afternoon on the day of our Christmas Party, and we weren’t sure how many people would show up, while we put up a tarp to cover the seating area. We had no need to be concerned about people showing up… As the start time of 4 p.m. drew near, the skies …

Juan Carlos, an overcomer
Juan Carlos is one of the boys who started coming to our Bible study about eight years ago. Despite the challenges he faced during his childhood, we saw something in Juan Carlos that showed he was an overcomer. We were right. As we got to know Carlos we found out he had been badly burned …
