COUNSULING & DISCIPLESHIP
New Life Discipleship Program
Many men enter the Niagara Gospel Mission to escape the cold or plan on a temporary stay in the Emergency Shelter. During their stay, decisions are made to change their lifestyle, free themselves from addiction, and plot a course to recovery. The Niagara Gospel Mission offers a Discipleship Program with up to twelve men and are committed to Bible study, recovery classes, job readiness, learning to live in harmony as a group, and participate in work assignments within the Mission. Upon completion, men can move into the Transitional Living housing or move to independent living. Committed program directors work with each man individually to meet their specific challenges. Men are encouraged to attend a local church for additional support, which has become an extended family to many.
