Manila – Full house in the Set Free Centre

The HELP drug rehabilitation centre in Manila – While the streets of Manila were filled with opulent Christmas decoration and lights, each and every room at the drug rehab was filled as well. So the “shack” was really crowded for Christmas and we celebrated in a big group. A short while ago, we took on a family of 6, which we knew for quite a while. Mother and Father, they both are struggling with drugs. We also plan to take in more rehab guests.

There is Jeffrey
Some time ago, 29 year old Jeffrey has come to us. Already at the age of 13 he began to take drugs. His father and his brother were doing drugs as well. With age, he also dealt drugs. While his father and his brother could make it years ago, he stayed on drugs. A few weeks ago his brother has made it clear to him that there is a way out of the hell of drugs. Jeffrey took courage and has decided to take up a therapy with us. He feels at home now. Even though the separation of his family is not always easy, upcoming Christmas is full of hope for him.

Philippines

HELP Set Free Center, Philippines. "Right now we are having some young people living with us who come from a very miserable background. They have hardly been taught any values. Their feeling of worthlessness is overwhelming. Living meant: Booze, drugs, gambling ... They come to us being prickly and fragile at the same time. They are looking for appreciation, identity and a life worth living for.

Jesus said: “Come to me, I will give you rest and a meaning in life. I mean well and I will give you only light burdens (freely adapted from Matthew 11, 28+29). It’s not easy for our boys to believe that there is someone who really loves them the way they are and wants to meet their needs. But whoever gets involved with Jesus, who confides in him, will witness a miracle: he will receive new life."

Philippines - Garage Sale at the Set Free Center

Finances are always a point for our teams. The co-workers of the Set Free Center in Manila (HELP-drugrehab) now had a garage sale. They report: "We looked in all of our rooms and put away everything which didn't serve us any longer. Also, some friends gave us things that they didn't need anymore. Many people came and we sold quite a few things. This is again a little help for us and we are encouraged and thankful.
