ReCreation

…when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, He saved us … according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. Titus 3:4-7 (NASB)

We build relationships with brothers struggling with drugs in a rehab centre through monthly visit by sharing the gospel, testimonies, fellowshipping and enjoying sports and other fun activities together

How SP responds?

  • Members of SP reach out to male adults struggling with drug addictions
  • We go to a gospel based drug treatment centre to support people to rehabilitate
  • The Centre typically receives young men from their young adulthood to their 50s who want breakthroughs in their lives
  • We share the Word of God with them as we believe the power of the gospel is life transforming
  • We build relationships with them through enjoying sports and fun activities together, eating together, fellowshipping with them – providing them opportunities to enhance their skills to re-integrate into the society
