I didn't make it through the program back in 1984. Sure wish I'd taken advantage of freedom from the turmoil. But the turmoil won. All these years later, I honestly wish I'd stayed with it. It was tough but not as tough as the alternative. I still sing "I'm a new Creation" sometimes. Remember the words, fondly.

This place really helped me to find true freedom from my life controlling issues. 5 years going strong. I really believe God put this ministry into motion and I believe he is still using it to do amazing things in peoples lives!

Awesome place where life controlling addictions are broken through the power of the gospel. The staff is amazing and most have first hand experience because they too had their lives changed through the program. This makes them the perfect people to provide help and guidance for those looking to change. I have heard many testimonies and seen lives changed through this place. Best of all, this is a free program for those who go through.

My 45 year old is not ready but she needs help. What can I do to help?

The best thing you can do is to get yourself in a NarAnon support group. There you will get support and better understanding. Your daughter has to be ready to make a change. You do not want to enable her by providing for her needs. There is a Teen Challenge for women, all ages, in Ventura. Also Village of Hope in Tustin. Call and check out their websites. Sorry you are having to go through this. Never underestimate the power of prayer.

I am a student advisor in Shafter. And no we don't "lock you down" Our induction part of the Christian Life School is 3 or 4 months. We focus on building a relationship with Jesus and you are free to leave the program at any time. More importantly we have been around since 1958, students who complete the program have the highest success rate of any other program. If you really want to change your life, come see us.
