I'm challenged by people who are willing to sacrifice everything for a cause in which they believe.
I've met several people this week who have inspired me. I sometimes can imagine my life as hard and difficult only to come in contact with people who help me redefine what "hard" really means. It's one thing to grow a ministry in a society that acknowledges and appreciates what you do, it's quite another to build one of a nation's largest drug and alchool rehabilitation centers wihout any support from others and in the face of opposition by both the national government and the state church.
Constantly under the watchful eye of officials who regularly investigate for "illegal activities" this ministry has managed to grow and build a self-sustainable model that has been replicated in other countries around the world. The outcome--nearly 60% of all who come after five years maintain sobriety, are productive workers, and live fulfilling and fruitful lives.
Meet the leadership team of one of the most extraordinary success stories I have ever experienced. In the face of open opposition, God's work thrives!
