Give Back Rehabilitation:

The "Give Back" Program is a nine month Christian discipleship program designed to lead men to a new Christ-centered life, free from drug and alcohol addictions. This program is available to any man at no financial cost to them. All program costs are covered through the generous donations of people like you. All we ask of the men is a willingness for change and a desire for God to direct them in their lives.


In The "Give Back" Program our men receive:

Housing
Each man in the program is assigned a shared room. This system of sharing a room with another program member offers several benefits. It provides them with accountability, fellowship, and someone that they can feel comfortable relating with.

Counseling
During each phase of the nine month program each program member is under the guidance of a specific counselor. The program members receive individual counseling in which they can speak about what is on their hearts in the privacy of a one on one session. There are also daily group gatherings in which the men, as a whole, can get together to fellowship and speak with one another.

Gospel Studies
Each program member has certain requirements that they must complete prior to moving on to the next phase of the program. These requirements include such things as their daily Bible reading, assigned Christian studies, Biblical memory verses, and group studies.

Job Skills
During the initial nine months of the "Give Back" program each program member is given the opportunity to renew their sense of worth and purpose through their involvement in helping with the maintaining of the Bread of Life Mission. Each program member helps keep the Mission running by "giving back" some of what God has given them. These jobs range from helping to prepare the daily meals to helping send out our Quarterly Newsletter. These various tasks are one of the ways that these men begin to see the positive impact that they can have on those around them.
