Things are going well at the Bridge. Large goals are being set by the youth and it is neat to see some of them get excited about possibilities for their futures. It is so easy to go through life without much direction when you are young but at some point reality and real-life responsibility kicks in. We want them to be proactive with their futures, learn to dream big, and get excited about all the possibilities that are available in life. We are starting to have some guest speakers come to our weekly meetings with the youth so they can hear stories from others and catch a bigger vision for themselves.
Alan Danforth, WGO’s founding father, had the hope and desire for our youth to go far in life. He wanted them to be fully bilingual in Spanish and English so that more doors could be open for their futures. Here in Honduras, if you know both languages, you do have more opportunities. So with languages behind us, we then have to work on other key skills, such as Godly character, integrity, work ethic, social skills, communication, etc. to help them be able to compete with the ever increasing number of bilingual peers here in the city.

Speaking of a future outside of the ministry, we wanted to update you on a couple of the young men who have already left WGO to start their own independent lives. Jesús moved out of the Bridge 1½ years ago and struggled for a while on his own, not making the best choices. But now he is 23 years old, 
married, and has a baby girl. He is working at the Marriot Hotel in town, and seems to be doing well. Keep him in your prayers. He has a lot of potential in life and will go far as he follows the Lord.Victor is living in an apartment in the city. He is 21 years old and is putting himself through college with his own small business selling electronics. It has been good to watch Him combine creativity and business savvy in order to make it comfortably on his own.

When we arrived back in Honduras in December we were totally surprised to see a Chili’s (Jennifer’s favorite restaurant) now in our town!! Jennifer always said, only half-jokingly, that she could serve in any country if they had a Pizza Hut.
