Programme > 18-Month Programme
An encounter with drugs can result in life-long regret. It requires many long years and the payment of a heavy price to rebuild one’s life. In order to stand firm in the Lord, one must seek to understand God’s word and strive to obey and follow His teaching.
Our drug rehabilitation program is Christ-centred and residents will undertake an 18-month basic life-building course. It includes training to develop spiritual and work discipline and discipline in living. The aim is to achieve holistic recovery and growth.
Spiritual discipline is critical. The word of God is the only means to transform a man’s heart, correct his flawed values, and develop spiritual virtues.
Residents are given job skills training and work experience. This helps to develop a sense of responsibility and positive work attitude, and they will be able to witness for Christ through their work.
Our Gospel social enterprise provides a variety of skills training opportunities: operating a café, house-moving service, car-washing service, restoration and sale of teak wood furniture and art and craft works, book-binding, art work framing, foot-massage etc.
Self- and group discipline are essential in life. Residents are trained in holistic self-management and enabled to develop healthy hobbies and recreational interests.
Residents will have an extended platform for learning in church and home.
After 3 years of intensive equipping the brothers become more mature in the different facets of life. Some will return to society and witness for God in their work place; and some will respond to God’s calling to strengthen their brothers when they return. Whichever direction they choose the ultimate goal is to enter into society and the community and to go to the ends of the earth to lead lost souls to the Lord and make them disciples of Christ.
“It takes 3 years to lay the foundation, 5 years to test the foundation, and 7 years to take root, grow and bear fruit.”
There is no instant success but if we remain steadfast and persevere then, by the grace of the God, lives which are corrupt and seemingly beyond help can be transformed by the Lord. They will become new creations who live to please God and are well loved.
