June 2008

We are glad to announce the high school graduation of Jessica Rodriguez. She graduated with honors from New Generation Christian School in the middle of June. She has accomplished a lot and we are proud of her for that. She has maintained outstanding grades throughout her education, and has graduated with a 97% average for high school. Her outgoing personality and leadership skills have been displayed in her participation in various school activities such as singing, public speaking, sports, Math Olympics, Spelling Bees, as well as tutoring other students when necessary.

Jessica also talked to us while preparing to graduate to let us know that she was ready to move out of the Bridge House and into independent living on her own. Jessica has now moved into one of several rooms that her aunt rents so she can be nearer to her family. She has always been really close to them, they just were unable to take care of her financially when she was young. But now as a young adult, she is ready for the challenge of life and will have them with her for any questions or concerns that arise. We are really excited for her and are praying for her best. Please pray with us that she does well, honors the Lord in everything, and makes good choices in her life. She plans to work at a local private school as a teacher while putting herself through college, studying to be a teacher.


This is what our house is all about. The youth at the Bridge have really stepped up to all the challenges we have laid before them in preparing them for their lives as adults. We are really proud of where our group is right now. They are, as a whole, more ready than ever before to step out on their own successfully. Please continue praying with us for wisdom and guidance from the Lord.
