Jesus Christ.  He is the one who truly does the healing; we are all simply His instruments.   All teens admitted to our program understand that "faith" is a huge part of who we are.  They understand prior to admittance that we pray often, have a time of nightly devotion led by the Behavior Coaches and that youth group and Sunday services are also part of "the program".  Teens are encouraged to participate but are never obligated...they all enthusiastically attend every one.</div> <bR> <div> It has been an awesome experience for us to witness God's changing power in these young lives.</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr><tr> <td valign="top" colspan=2 height=28 BGCOLOR="#660000" TEXT="#F7F7FF"> <div> H.O.P.E.
