Isolation

Our residential discipleship program requires residents to live at House of Dawn for twelve months. Through a separated and mutually supportive community life, residents rebuild their outlook on life and learn to follow biblical teaching as their guide for daily living.

Separation means creating an environment that cuts off the old network and replaces previous bad habits with what is later built and learned. As the saying goes, one who stays near vermilion becomes red. New understanding and behavior are learned through imitation and example within the peer community, so House of Dawn must provide good models for those in recovery to learn healthy behavior.

Life Renewal (Renewal)

Through the daily life guidelines at House of Dawn, residents learn through general courses, spiritual courses, and the example and teaching of ministry staff and successful senior residents, rebuilding character, ethics, self-discipline, and human dignity.

General activities—including sports, work, and group dynamics—foster mutual support and brotherhood without competition. Spiritual courses focus on biblical teachings, counseling, and communication skills.

Reformation: Halfway House

We help them rebuild positive support networks, such as family, friends, employment, school, and church. Through these relationships, they enter a stage of rebuilding and re-education that helps them become more independent. This is the service of the halfway house.
