Dave and Alan Perez who has become much more than a translator--a dear friend and great leader in the making!!
Greetings to you all!! We celebrated two years on the island August 23 and the evening before we hosted a graduation ceremony for the first class of Authentic Manhood to complete the 24 week course---It was a beautiful evening and a real confirmation of the work God has lead us to here...Enjoy the photos!!
We held the event at our new property in the mountains, and of course we started with food!!
Then we enjoyed some fellowship and a gorgeous early evening mountain view...
Dave and Alan began the program commending the men for their commitment to perserverve for 24 weeks...
The graduates gathered together with family and friends surrounding them...
Special recognition certificates and medallions were awaiting them...
Dave had a special sword to "knight" each man, after explaining the significance of being "knighted"...
We closed the ceremony by gathering together for prayer...
A very content group of men were encouraged to fight the good fight together--for their hearts, their marriages, their families, their communities, and their country...
As always we are so grateful to you all for your faithful prayers and encouragement.
