God's Ranch and House of Adullam
Both discipleships require a minimum commitment of six months to the year long program. The program is not a run of the mill recovery center. We are Christ centered teaching people to live a life pleasing to God. God’s Ranch and the House of Adullam are safe havens for the lost and afflicted to make an entire life change.
We are here for people in recovery from addiction to drugs and/or alcohol, incarceration, homelessness or abuse. The residents are given a Holy Bible, a lot of love and instruction. The first thirty days a resident will not be allowed to make any phone calls but a resident can write letters. The residents are not allowed to leave the house by themselves and will only go places for church functions. Residents will attend a Scriptural 12-step Bible study three times per week and church service three times per week. There are daily chores, Bible assignments with life application summaries, and group Bible study.
After the initial 30 days residents will start working with our outreach ministry partnerships with World Visions, E-quest Special Riders for disabled and/or handicapped children and our own Friday Night Feed preparing and serving food to the less fortunate of Tacoma. This facilitates the establishment of good job skills and strong work ethics that many may have never had, or had a chance to learn. After their 90 day milestone residents are eligible for a home weekend twice per month to a direct family member’s home that is clean and sober. After the residents 90 day milestone and review, they may be encouraged and required to actively seek gainful employment, and then learn to pay rent, save and budget monies so they can find their own apartment getting on with their new life, living clean, sober and making their own way with out being a burden on family, friends or society as a whole.
