Urbana Update
We had a great time at Urbana this year! We saw students impacted by the harsh reality of the world and by the love of God towards those who live in disparaging situations. We decided to engage college students by telling Helen’s story of hope and letting them write notes to other girls who are in the same circumstances. Helen’s story is as follows…

Meet Helen…
In her early teens she was trapped in drugs and prostitution with no way out. Life looked as bleak as it felt until she was rescued from the streets of Costa Rica. She spent 18 months at out RENACER rescue home. If you saw her today, you’d never know her past. Dozens of girls like Helen need to know that someone cares… Even that you care.
Over 300 students wrote notes. They wept. They Prayed. They wrote words of hope, love and encouragement in 6 different languages to the girls at RENACER. That’s not the end though… we are going to translate them into Spanish and send them to the girls of RENCAER. We’ll be posting their responses under “Helen’s Story” on this blog.
So, thank you to those who wrote notes to these girls. They will mean the world to them. I know they will. Keep checking back with us.
In Christ,
Anji for the Christ For the City International Team
