Dear Friends,

“As we look back with Gratitude, look upwards with Confidence and look forward with Hope, we are lighting our way to embrace one another in Love, and we pause to count our blessings.”

Enkrateia turned two this year! A toddler.  Our team is holding hands and moving forward steadily. We are learning that often; our house guests have had traumatic experiences in their lives before coming to Enkrateia. I have nothing but admiration and respect for our Executive team in the manner they conducted themselves during the process of working with the guests in stressful situations and taking Enkrateia forward.

Our mother mentors are in touch with the mothers and babies who have moved on to lead an independent life.

I extend our heartfelt gratitude to all of you for making Enkrateia’s mission possible. Your generous spiritual and financial contributions are playing a critical role in our mission.

On the home front, we are still looking for a Care coordinator and candidates are being interviewed. We are getting our own curriculum ready for the guests with the help of a volunteer life coach. Open house sessions and training are being planned. One session was conducted and a second one is scheduled.

We are getting calls from mothers who already have children while expecting another. We might be able to help an expectant mom with one child up to the age of 5, depending on the occupancy status of our home.

I am extremely thankful to all of you for the unconditional love and support you have extended towards us as we are treading challenges with our health. All the team members who had health issues are doing well. Please continue to remember us in your daily devotions.

God is watching over us! He is Kind and Merciful

With this in my heart, I wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a healthy and peaceful 2024.   

Your sister in Christ,

Dorothy Arockiasamy

Executive Director
