The City Of Refuge for Men

I've not met the pastor of this facility personally, but I have met a couple of disciples from this program. These men the pastor has sent out is a reflection of the teaching they've received at this program. We all have a story to tell and God will use ANY PERSON, no matter the crime or pain they've caused. He needs each one of us. Sin is sin, so those slandering really need to be careful because while you point out one man's speck of dust, you have a huge log in your own eye. Forgiveness is key and love is the answer. I hope to visit this program one day because I believe my testimony may help someone in need. Yall be blessed!

The same man that runs this program is responsible for abusing countless children. The programs that he ran were shut down and now he has moved on to these vunrable adults. He is mentioned in tons of articles for abusing children and there is a book written by a former "student" of his called Surviving Bethel that describes some of the horrendous abuse he underwent while under this man's care. Do not send your loved ones here.

Very unprofessional. I called to get help for our son. I couldnt get a straight answer from anyone who answered the phones about anything. I dont understand how these places are allowed to stay open? It doesnt seem like they are really there to help anyone! I would definitely stay away from this place.

Excellent place for men. As I was telling Cindy Holland, but couldn't write no more. (Back to talking about a woman's rehab where you can bring you're children or help you get them back, if you hace lost them) (back to explaining how if you can make the first 7 days, you got this. This was 6 days in when, my daughter called begging to come home.) My son said he was on his way to get her. This was her 6th day. He really wasn't but was trying to calm her down and tell her what she wanted/needed zA! +N!njjnj!nnj!n!! to hear, at that time. It takes 5 hours to get there from Denham Springs,La. Yeah, he told a white lie but that was to calm her down and give her more time to think about the biggest mistake she was about to make. He felt really bad and was worried she would never forgive him. I said, I bet she does forgive you. 2 weeks later, she sent him a letter, Thanking him for not coming and telling him, how he saved her life, because 2 days later, she redetiiated her life to Jesus and her we are....She graduated her year and has made the decision to stay on for 6 more months as part of the staff to help others coming in and really make sure she has a solid foundation to come home with. Staying away from, People, Places and things is a huge issue. You have a chance to start over and choose how you want your life to go. See she had nothing left to come home to....Family was DONE and she lost her car and home and had no where to go, had she did come home. Addiction affects everyone, not just the addict. Your family worries, every second of the day, this is the day, I will get a call and my beautiful daughter will never be here again, so I can tell her I loved her so much and how she meant the world to me. This is a serious disease and has taken almost our whole teen to mid 20yr olds. I highly recommend this place. It's helped her in so many ways, other than being sober. She loves herself for the first time in her life. Has hope, peace and joy. Loves waking up and thanks God how grateful she is to be a live. I'm the proudest mother on earth. I myself have struggled with drugs and when she comes home, my daughter and I look forward to having a sober relationship with each other and can actually do things together, instead of spending all day, everyday, searching for drugs to get high and the money to get them. PRAISE THE LORD! OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD. I WOULD GIVE THESE PPL 10 STARS IF I COULD. Everyone there is loving, kind, caring respectful, etc. Because they know from first hand experience. They are family. Sorry so long. God Bless you all.
