Daily Life
When a participant first comes to the Wellspring Home, she enters into Orientation phase. Over the first few weeks, she will have the chance to acclimate and get comfortable in her new environment.
After orientation, she joins the rest of the home in all group activities. The daily schedule is highly structured. Participants go to the gym four times per week and attend both spiritual formation and life skills classes daily. They also have counseling and group therapy classes weekly. In addition, program participants have the privilege of periodic equine therapy.
Coaches supervise twenty four hours to encourage progress by maintaining structure, speaking the truth in love, leading by example, teaching and establshing sincere relationships with the participants. They are there to walk each participant through the most challenging and most gratifying times of the recovery process.
There is a variety of activities that come up often such as holiday socials, special events and graduation ceremonies that make each week interesting and new.

Lindsey's Story
I grew up in a good home with a loving family, but I never felt "good enough" for God or anyone else. I was a devout Christian and an obsessive compulsive perfectionist until I was raped by a boyfriend in high school. I tried to "press on" with my life, but buried issues of childhood sexual abuse and rape were always lurking beneath my surface grin. I felt abandoned by God and tried to build a world apart from Him. But the harder I ran away, the harder He chased after me. I had a promising future, by worldly standards, yet I still felt overwhelmed by worthlessness and hopelessness. With a wounded heart and a severe cocaine addiction, I found myself just trying to survive. In desperation, I called upon the name of the Lord.
The night I decided to ask for help, I walked into a church high as a kite with a bag of cocaine in my pocket. Something in my heart said, "If you will throw away the drugs, I will set you free tonight." I obeyed, and God was faithful. That night I heard the pastor say, "If any of you is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has gone, and the new has come." For the first time in my life, I felt free of the stain of sin--both my own sins and the sins of others against me. I truly felt the sentence of death apart from Christ, but for the first time I also knew the power of His resurrection in my life! And I needed help. That is when I came to Wellspring.
Wellspring is a ministry through which God's compassion and favor is given to the hurting. Jesus put it this way, "It is not the well who need a doctor, but the sick . . . I came to call the sinners, not the righteous." Apart from Him, we are all sick sinners in desperate need of a Redeeming Healer. I pray that countless other women are afforded the opportunity to lead transformed, blessed lives and are equipped to change the world for Christ through the exceptional ministry at Wellspring.
