This facility provides the first four months of the 14 month long program. Our campus is situated on 45 acres of wooded property complete with log cabin style buildings and beautiful surroundings. We are strictly a Bible Based Recovery Ministry that stresses a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, Bible reading and memorization of scripture, intense classroom work and personal responsibility in daily assignments around campus. We are NOT a glorified drop-in retreat center, but rather a place where we expect God to transform our students by the renewing of the mind through Prayer and the Word of God. It is not easy, but it is worth the effort. If one will surrender his will to God and allow changes to take place from within success is within reach. The steps to enroll are simple. First, make the call for information or help and someone will be glad to speak with you. Second, make an appointment to come to the office for an in depth interview showing "who we are, what we do and how we do it". This usually takes an hour. If what we have to offer is what you are looking for, we will be glad to assist in the process. The time required for entrance is normally 7-10 days from the time the interview is completed, depending upon any medical issues that need to be resolved and available bed space. A complete information packet is available in PDF Format on the Contact Page on this site. Most of the "detail questions" are available in that packet. A couple of items you may need to know up front is that we are not able to accept individuals who are on Anti-depressant medicines. All pending legal issues must be properly disposed of prior to entry and those on probabtion or parole are not eligible to travel across state lines. If any of these items are an issue, please discuss it with the intake person during the first contact.

5 We can be reached by phone at New Life Men s Home New Life Men s Home is a Christian, residential training center for men with life-controlling problems. Our program helps men from all walks of life, many of whom struggle with alcohol and drug addiction problems. We maintain a disciplined home environment where people are given a genuine chance at a new beginning. Our structured schedule and our Christian academics help these men get their lives back in order. THE PROGRAM New Life Men s Home is recognized by the United States government as a place where, Young people enter...and emerge as positive and contributing members of society. We have a documented success rate of over eighty-six percent for those who graduate the program. Students reside in a residential setting for a period of 12 to 18 months, surrounded by an atmosphere of love, acceptance and forgiveness. Students are instructed through spiritual, educational and vocational training to become responsible and productive members of society. Our programs combine biblical instruction to build character; academic teaching to increase their education; and vocational training to help prepare them in today s job market. We believe in an approach to addiction and other life controlling problems that ministers to the whole person. The staff believes that the lives of suffering men and women can be changed through the power of Jesus Christ. G.E.D. PROGRAM Life controlling issues such as alcohol and drug abuse are often marked by neglect in one s personal life, especially in their education. The tutoring and mentorship our students receive at New Life give them the confidence to move forward in this area, with many passing the high school equivalency exam while in our program. Our goal is to provide every student with the opportunity to trade their drugs for an education.

6 807 Lakeview Street Kannapolis, NC Hebron Colony (men)/grace Home (women) There is no charge, but one must have a willing spirit. We require that a man or a woman come drug free or sober (at least 5 days and on the day of arrival) of their own free will, earnestly desiring permanent victory, and that they remain for a period of ten weeks. All students must be willing to cooperate in the work program. Applicants must first complete and submit an application. Medical test results and a sponsor's signature are also required before entrance into the program. As a former student, now victorious, puts it, "Hebron presents a Person, Jesus Christ, not a program." We believe, as Paul wrote in II Corinthians 5:17: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature: old things have passed away; Behold, all things have become new." 1. Each person is carefully interviewed and discipled; the entire personality is considered as we endeavor to meet the needs of an individual. 2. No addictive or habit forming substances are allowed. 3. There are daily Bible classes, informal discussion groups, several weekly worship services, and scripture memorization. 4. As a practical hands on teaching of God's Word, students are assigned daily work appropriate to their skills and physical condition. Assignments are directed toward maintenance of the facility and provision of food from our garden. Two local thrift stores in Boone and one in Mountain City are also a part of the operation in which the students participate. 5. In the Hebron Colony Ministries environment, distractions are shut out freeing the mind to reflect upon what is being learned. Immediate family does not visit for two weeks. 6. With a limited enrollment a personal, family atmosphere is maintained. 7. Through fellowship with others who have the same problem...understanding, encouragement and support are provided. 8. A difference in mental attitude, a spirit of thankfulness instead of reproachfulness, and a spirit of victory instead of defeat prevails at Hebron Colony Ministries. 9. Individual counseling is available upon request. 10. A schedule disciplines individuals in matters of punctuality, responsibility, hygiene, etc. 11. A fully equipped gymnasium in Boone is available for the enjoyment of the male students. This includes weight lifting equipment, billiard table, table tennis, basketball, volleyball, and badminton. Homemaking and craft classed are offered in Santee. We do not offer medical or psychiatric services. Even though our program is spiritual, we are not interested in merely giving a person more religion. We explain salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ and offer help in applying the Word of God personally. To begin the application process for admission into the ten week program, the prospective student needs to call and speak with a staff person. Upon receipt of the application, the Admissions Director will call

It is based on the fundamental belief that the solutions to problems caused by drugs and alcohol can be found through faith in God. The program is simple, yet it is the answer with the majority of cases. A man or woman is provided with a separated life for eight weeks, close to nature, and away from unsettling influences. By studying and working with others like themselves, they can begin to understand the basic truths of life and why they have faltered along the way. The work here is spiritual. Bible study, daily morning devotions, Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Alanon and regular church services are the heart of the program. There is physical work to be done at the homes, and each resident is expected to cooperate by doing their share.
