How does our program run and why are we effective in changing young people's lives?

When some of our boarding school students arrive, they are completely out of control: breaking the law, swearing, smoking, doing drugs, skipping school, running away, sexually active, etc.  When they come here, they must be retrained.  The entry level students are placed under immediate, complete control-law.  Then the training process can begin.Students eating at New Creations

 

Just as a newly born baby requires total control-law with gradual decreases, so do our new students.  As the child learns and matures during our program, then the control-law decreases, and the teaching of God's Spirit increases.  When a child reaches 12-15 years of age, the control-law and teaching God's Spirit facets of his life are approximately equal.  When a student has been at New Creations for approximately 12-18 months and has reached 2A or 3C, the control-law and teaching God's Spirit facets of his life should be approximately equal.

 

Our students are then functioning at a 12-15 year age level.  When a student's functional age reaches his actual age, he should be ready to return home.  The student should not leave until he has stabilized on the level 60-180 days.  The student should leave at a scheduled break time (i.e. Mid-Terms, Christmas, or at the end of the school year).  This is best for the student to receive all of his earned credits and to help with stability.  This has been proven effective and practical.

What do the teens say about their experience?

 

Transformed Lives

Hi! My name is Jordan Dwinell and WOW! Do I have a testimony! I’m 14 years old and I’ve Jordan Dwinell, boarding school studentbeen at New Creations for six months. Before I came here I struggled with arguing with my parents, running away, and surrounding my life with boys. When I came here, I did the exact same things…just worse. I wouldn’t go a day without fight with the dorm ministers, and I got myself a really bad anger problem. I talked to the boys any chance I got, and hurt a lot of people. I made a big hole for myself and tried to get out of it many times, but never could. I finally realized the reason why I couldn’t get out of the hole was because I was trying to do it myself, when I needed to go to God to help me. Now that I have done that, things have gone so much better for me. I’m listening to the dorm ministers, and getting my relationship better with the Lord and those around me! I’m believing that God has the right man for me, and am being patient, and I’m working things out with my mom and dad so I can go home. I still struggle with things, but God is helping me work through them so I can grow to be the woman God wants me to be. Please pray for me.
 

 

 

What’s up, folks! My name is Joe Curry. I am from Gary, Indiana. Before I came here I wJoe Curry, boarding school studentas skipping school, taking my mom’s car, and not doing what I was supposed to do. I was fighting at school a lot, arguing with my mama, and I was always talking on the phone with girls when I should have been doing homework. I had bad grades in school. My family did not like me because of the way I was acting. I did not care about what I did, said, or anything. But, now that I have been here at New Creations for nine months, I have come closer to God and I now realize what I did that got me here and how much I love my mama and family. I now realize that Jesus is the Way, and I ask for forgiveness from God, my mama, and my family. I am a changed young man, ready for God’s calling on my life.
