Committed to Giving Back

It has been an amazing five and a half years at Celebrate Recovery. God has truly done some amazing things among us. We have been privileged to witness his work in restoring marriages, healing people’s wounds from addictions, abusive situations, broken relationships, various painful hurts and bringing balance to people’s lives from various hang-ups. We have received so much blessing from the Lord. In 2011 we have decided as a program to be committed to giving back.

We get the opportunity to start CR at our inner city church, Capitol Hill. There are CR leaders on Tuesdays leading Step Studies in preparation for our fall kick-off. And we are excited to see what the Lord has in store for that new CR program.

In addition, several of us get the opportunity to go to Honduras – July 9-17 – to share the good news of Jesus through Celebrate Recovery. We are traveling to Catacamas, Honduras, which is the home of Mission Predisan and Cerepa Addiction Treatment Center. This mission of Predisan and Cerepa is to serve individuals and populations in the Predisan service area so that they can experience wholeness – physical, spiritual, social, economic and environmental – according to God‘s redemptive plan. On our trip in July we have the opportunity to train the Predisan and Cerapa staff and residents how to start and maintain a Celebrate Recovery program. We will also spend our mornings constructing a low ropes course for Cerepa. For more information about Predisan go to http://www.predisan.org/ and for Cerepa go to http://www.cerepa.org/
We are excited about this opportunity and have begun our fundraising. We could use your help to get over the top.


Here’s how you can help:
This Sunday, April 24, we will announce our trip and financial need to the Memorial Road church family. You can give any size of gift that you like. Checks can be made out to “MRCC” and please put “CR Honduras” in the memo line.

Then, on May 27th and 28th we will have a garage sale on the southeast corner of Memorial Road and Bryant (old Piggly Wiggly grocery store). We are accepting donated items for the sale now. You can donate by contacting Andrew Claxton at 410-4230. And we would love to have you come check out the sale too beginning at 8am on both days.

You can also support us by keeping the trip in your prayers. Please pray that God will work through us and we will be able to show the people of Honduras the blessing of a Christ centered recovery program. Thank you for partnering with us in this exciting opportunity!

Grateful Believers,

 Micah and Andrew
