We spent this morning at a rehab center, learning the process of making 'cajetas,' a delicious Costa Rican sweet. It was inspiring to see the diverse projects they use to support their work. Julie and RT shared their personal testimonies, and we took time to pray with the men in the rehab program. We were overjoyed to witness nearly all of them accepting Jesus!
