The Year of the Lord' Favor
Isaiah 61 reads:
1 The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, [a]
2 to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn,
3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor.

From the Executive Director:
Please pray for one of our students that has had to be placed in a residential facility for an eating disorder. That she would receive the help she needs and return quickly to us. Also for two other students recommended to us by human services that they decided to stick it out and work through their issues, Lots of strong holds that need to be broken. Another student who is starting post abortion counseling here that she would receive Gods forgiveness and accept his unconditional Love. Please always remember to pray for our girls; they are so broken.
We look forward to a visit from Senator Neal Kedzie - 11th Senate District. He is coming to tour our facility on Monday, April 28th at 11:00 a.m.
Upcoming work days: If you would like to help with the renovation project, contact Ben at 745-6705.
