What an amazing night we had at our Roaring 20s Gala supporting Pat’s Place! Enormous thanks to everyone that attended, gave, and helped to make this night a huge success! Thanks to your generosity, we raised $27,859 dollars! Then God topped it off at our next event at The Prayer Room Church the following weekend in Texas, during which we raised another $3,636. That brought our total for the week to $31,495 dollars. Praise God for His amazing, abundant provision!
After her relaxing week with our family in Texas, Laura headed back home to Peru earlier this week. While Laura was in the U.S., two new families arrived at Pat’s Place. We have a new 22-year-old mother with two children under the age of three and another mother with two children under the age of 12. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers as they begin their journey of healing.
Lastly, we have a trip in October where we are taking the Pat's Place youth on a week-long retreat. This is a milestone event for them, as most of them will be on a plane for the first time in their lives. We are proud to do this thanks to several very special financial partners who have made it possible. We are excited and grateful to our Pastors making the trip with the us (Pastor Keith Torbert, Pastors Robert and Jennifer Walker), and to our board member, Tim Koenning, and to my sister, Amanda Compton. We are looking forward to developing the ministry we do with the Pat's Place youth so that the cycle of violence ends with them. Please pray for this trip, that God would draw their hearts to His, that He would speak to each of the youth, and make His personal, relentless love known to each of their precious souls.
God continues to open new doors to ministry partners that are interested in investing in the ministry of Pat's Place. We ask your prayers that we follow where He leads in that regard. We absolutely covet your prayer and financial support as Amor Real enters its seventh year of ministry with your help. We pray too that God's favor and blessing be on each of you.
