Went to church this morning at Grace Chapel on a farm run by Teen Challenge about 30kms out of Esperance. What an amazing place, they have about 20 males and 20 females in rehab on the farm. They seemed to be mainly low 20's and it was obvious that all had been in a very low place, drug or alcohol addicted.
The road in is called Freedom Boulevard, very fitting as these kids are set free in here. It is a very impressive setup out in the middle of nowhere on farm land. The Chapel is pretty awesome when you walk in, we were made very welcome. After the service a young lady showed us around the place and we talked with a number of those doing the program and some of the leaders. Most of the leaders had not long done the program themselves. On arriving they go through 5 phases each of 8 weeks then they do a 3 month internship. It is a full on program where they really learn to live life in a good way. It's certainly not easy for them, particularly until they accept God's help, then they really are born again and love it.
A great morning, we then had lunch at Gibson before coming back into Esperance the long way around. We lazed up and went for a walk around town this afternoon.
Camped tonight discreetly in a quiet street.
