Over the next couple of weeks, we will begin to implement a program that will focus on plugging everyone from the church we are a part of into a small group. We know the effectiveness of this model personally and we can’t wait to get started. Rebekah has a small group that meets weekly here at our house composed of Nicaraguan women and another small group that she is co-leading composed of some team members working here in Granada. I believe God is calling me to starting a small group that meets weekly made up of recovering addicts. The small group will have the feel of an Narcotics Anonymous group with a focus on who we are in Christ, taking life and recovery one day at a time, serving our community, praying for one another, etc. The goal of the group is that we would all go out and teach others what we have learned. I think step #12 of the program says it best:

Step 12: Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to addicts, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

Please pray for us over the next couple of weeks as we prepare to begin.
