Located in Columbia, Reconciliation Ministries ("RM") is a fifteen month long residential recovery and discipleship program that empowers men to overcome addiction. In June of 2017, a long-held vision became a reality when RM, opened its doors to meet a desperate need in the community. Since its inception, not only have the chains of addiction been broken in the lives of students, but marriages have been restored, families have been reunited, and relationships with God have been rekindled. While in the program, RM students are guided through a series of three phases: Phase 1 ("Rooted") is designed to help men establish a strong foundation built on biblical principles by first developing a relationship with God through daily, communal prayer and worship as well as studying biblical principles leading to Christian living. Phase 2 ("Restoration") helps students work towards mending broken relationships through leadership development, vocational training, and life skills classes along with group counseling, family visits, and dental and eye care. Phase 3 ("Remain") transitions students back into the community by preparing them to lead their families and churches as they spread the Gospel message while be provided housing on the RM campus.
