Road to Recovery Newsletter: September 2016

Celebrate Recovery is a biblical and balanced program.  It is based on the actual words of Jesus rather than psychological theory.  This program is designed to help those struggling with hurts, habits and hang-ups by showing them the loving power of Jesus Christ through a recovery process.

We are completely bi-lingual with Step Studies on Tuesday evening and Large Group/Open Share Group meeting on Thursday evenings.

Tuesday evenings we dig deep as we work through the 8 choices of Celebrate Recovery in a small group setting. This is a safe place to open up, share and grow in your recovery walk. Because these groups share intimate details and go through the steps together the groups have a certain “open/close” date. For more information regarding the next open sessions please contact us.  We meet from 7pm – 9pm at Calvary Chapel Rosarito.

Thursday evenings start with a time of corporate worship, followed by announcements and a lesson or a testimony to listen to and then a time of meeting with a small group to discuss what was shared in the lesson. Thursday evenings are open to everyone.  On Thursday evenings we meet from 7pm – 9pm at Calvary Chapel Rosarito.

Jose and Merella's story

One or our Celebrate Recovery participants invited Merella to Celebrate Recovery. After asking a few questions about the program, she made mention that she was not an alcoholic or drug addict, and questioned why she should attend the program? During a Large Group meetings she recognized that Jesus Christ gave his life for her and accepted the free gift of salvation. Even though she was not a drug addict or an alcoholic she realized there were other hurts, habits and hang-ups in her life that she wanted to deal with.  Within weeks Merella and her husband Jose were baptized together. They have servant hearts and are a tremendous blessing to all that come in contact with them.

October 22, 2016 we will be hosting our 2nd Annual Celebrate Recovery Information Seminar.  This is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about our Bi-Lingual program.  If you are in the Rosarito area please join us for the day!

These were the ladies who went into the Ensenada prison to minister to "Our Girls on the Inside".  It was all about sharing the love of Jesus as we celebrated Step Study Graduations.  Thank you St. Albert Alliance team for living out Matthew 25:36b, 39 & 40 ... I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

 

Updates &
Prayer Requests

From East Tijuana to Ensenada, approximately 60 pastors and church leaders have received the Celebrate Recovery Step Study training. Please pray for them as they personally complete the 24 week step study and then open it up to their congregations so that healing can begin.

At Celebrate Recovery Calvary Chapel Rosarito we have just completed our third set of step studies.  Please pray for the new session of step studies as it begins on August 16th.

 

Celebrate Recovery
Summit 2016

What a joy it was to be able to gather with others who are also involved in a ministry we so dearly love. Our team came back to Mexico refreshed and ready to continue the good work we have been called to in helping others be set free from their hurts, habits and hang-ups. Please pray that God would continue to meet the needs of this ministry.

Your prayers, your love,
your encouraging words, your support ...
these never go unnoticed. 
Thank you!
