Ceci arrived here illegally, brought by her father, who she didn’t know. She began to study in the Institute and surprised us with her intelligence and math skills. She began to attend the bible study on Wednesdays and a beautiful relationship began between us. At one point she said that she called us mom and dad because she had never had real parents and now we were like her parents.
At home, some of her relatives tried to abuse her and drugs and alcohol were always on hand, which is why she came to live at the Refuge. During a few weeks in December and January, she came to live with us. It was a new experience for the three of us and an opportunity to show God’s love to her through her new adoptive family.
In February, Ceci went to live in RENACER, a sister ministry of ours, that belongs to CFCI and that works with girls addicted to drugs and alcohol. She’s really happy there and we’re sure that God will continue the work that He began with her. Ceci has meant a lot to us, we truly love her like a daughter. We ask that you pray for her with us that God would fulfill His purpose in the life of this very special girl.
