ABOUT THE GOOD NEWS RESCUE MISSION NEW LIFE RECOVERY PROGRAM

The Good News Rescue Mission is an organization which ministers God’s love to those without a home, and who are in urgent need of shelter and food. We share the gospel of Jesus Christ with all who enter, because we believe that He is the true answer to all of life’s needs.

The New Life Recovery Program:

The New Life Program is offered to those who want to learn more about God as revealed through the Bible and the person of Jesus Christ, and who want to explore living a life of love and hope. The New Life Recovery Program is a 12 month residential, with an optional 6 month Transition, “Non-Smoking” Life Changing Relapse Prevention Program focusing on three areas of recovery: Discipleship, Relapse Prevention and Life Skills. The word “disciple” means one who is a follower, a pupil, a learner or an apprentice.

· An earnest desire to learn more about God, as revealed by the Bible.
· A willingness to be accountable to others (other disciples, Mission staff, etc.)
