Global Aid Network Mission Reports

From Dave K.:

Drugs and alcohol addictions are rampant in Kazakhstan due to the huge supply of heroin from a country in nearby Central Asia.  Over 700,000 metric tons of this killer drug passed through Kazakhstan in 2007.  A hit of heroin currently costs the equivalent of 30 cents here in Almaty.  By God’s grace Teen challenge is doing a miraculous work of bringing people to Christ by lovingly engaging in discipleship ministry with these men and women who have fallen into Satan’s twisted snare.  It is a hard ministry because it requires seasoned Christians to confront those who are escaping the deceitfulness of drug and alcohol addictions.  These confrontations must occur in a way that maintains intimacy and loving kindness.  Today we were privileged to see the fruit of 18 months worth of “speaking the truth in love” as we witnessed the graduation of two men whose lives have been forever changed by the person of  Jesus Christ.

From Kathi M.:

I had the opportunity to pray for the children of a woman who became a Christian 4 years ago through the Teen Challenge program.   She is now living at the center and mentoring other women.  She is the only Christian in her family.
