The Women in Recovery Program is housed at rented facilities known as Genesis Acres. Here, women are growing in the Lord, becoming reunited with their children, and entering society again. All exciting benchmarks in their lives; however, these times are also frightening for them. Many of them have never had the opportunity to live clean and sober, or to parent their children.   At Genesis Acres, we are working to educate each woman in Biblical truths to build a solid foundation on which to transform their lives. Without Jesus, life is frightening: with Him, ALL things are possible. Each week, our women complete a schedule of programming and other activities.

Thanks for your support! Marla would like to acknowledge and thank the following for their recent support of our Women's Life Transformation Program... Amee Rexford and her "crew" for planting flowers at Genesis Acres, and for helping our women plant hanging flower baskets along their carports. Men's Breakfast team from Westwood Baptist Church for cleaning gutters and roofs at Genesis Acres. Izzy's Pizza for providing a complimentary lunch to women in the Life Transformation Alumni support Group.

These activities include, but are not limited to:

*Bible study
*Christian Nurturing Parenting classes
*Genesis Process Counseling
*Individual spiritual discipleship
*Community meeting
*12-step recovery meetings

In addition to these on-site meetings at Genesis Acres, each woman must attend a Celebrate Recovery meeting at a local church. Church attendance is mandatory. The Program Manager attends church services at least once at each of these churches to familiarize herself with local churches.

Curfew is at 9 p.m., unless prior permission is given to extend curfew. Each woman completes household chores, plans meals and schedules bedtimes for their children. They also perform assigned chores here at the Genesis Acres office, and in the Mission's kitchen. 

Genesis Acres has housing for three single women and trailers for four women with children. It is so awesome to see each woman growing in the Word, and in their lives. They are like a bouquet of roses, some opening, some still in bud, but all beautiful.

Current needs at Genesis Acres include babysitting during evening Bible Study and mentors for the women and their children. Families may “adopt a family” and include them in their family outings, or sponsor a special family activity for the women, as not all have cars, and all are on limited budgets.

If you are interested in getting help, we are looking for women who want to grow in the Lord, and who have a desire to live life free of addictions and other life controlling issues.
