Lifechangers

This place can truly help to change the lives of individuals who want to change. Anybody can post a negative review and most who do will do it because they are bitter. You can't enter a recovery program and expect to dictate hoe things will go. They teach you to be responsible for what goes on in your life. They teach you good morals through discipleship teaching in the Word of God. Everyone who enters he program knows this from the start! People want to say it is a cult but tell me what cult allows you the free will to leave? It is truly based on your desire to change. The fundraising they do is to support the ministry and it teaches the participants to be a part of the welfare of others. Would you rather spend $40-60,000 in a program that really doesn't care about your future and doesn't teach you life skills as well? The participants in the program are actively involved in the fundraising to help keep the program free for the next guy. In this they learn what it is to support a community instead of destroying a community. Don't look at the people who quit but listen to the ones who stuck it out and graduated. Look at how their lives have changed and went from homeless to homeowners, from drug users and dealers to fathers, husbands, business owners, taxpayers, pastors, counselors, and teachers. Find out for yourselves.

The establishment needs to be aware of what's going on and put an end to this so called recovery program because if this program is not benefiting anyone except those greedy higher ups then it's time to shut it down. I met two great individuals and I bought a bracelet not knowing all the bad reviews but if they do shut it down then I wonder what will happen to the individuals in which this program is supposed to help. God Bless!

I read the reviews when my daughter was on the streets and was going into the program. I prayed and asked God for his will be done. Three weeks in, they took them to Louisiana the third worst broken out area for Covid-19, the weekend that TN governor shut down. I agree people are should work for their health and well being of a program if it's free. But, not during a pandemic. Their lives shouldn't be put in more danger than it was when they were on the streets doing drugs. Wonder what the government officials and judges who force people into these programs are getting. Someone needs to check this place out. Also there are other questionable practices. And the person who said that this is just a strict program. Where was the counseling, where is dealing with your past to make your future better. I thought when I read the reviews oh they are just drug addicts and didn't want to work for their sobriety. I was wrong, thankfully my daughter has gotten out and is on the road to recovery. NO THANKS TO THIS PROGRAM. I pray for the ones who have no one to listen to them.

I took my Son the one in TN. I took him there to get help for addiction BUT NO! They trained him to sell T Shirts... No help for his addiction on how to live a sober life. My Son left we called the so called Pastor 3 times to go pick up his belongings. THEY STOLE HIS THINGS... Then the so called Pastor confronted me and told me and my 74yr old Mother to shut up we were pissing him off! They gave all of his clothes away. How do you do that. They brainwash the men I know a you man that is there and him and his girlfriend are brainwashed.My Son had sense enough to go in a store and call me. We are able to get him home thanks to God and angels along the way. Now I am gonna have to pray harder to try to get my Son who don't believe in the Lord to trust him. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS MOMMA DON'T SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE!

My son, a veteran diagnosed with PTSD was in this program. He was discharged from the program because he complained about his inability to call me or his father. They do NO substance or mental health treatment like they promised. They hide behind Christianity to abuse and manipulate the people to do "fundraising." They brainwash and mentally abuse people. They withhold medications for people diagnosed with mental illness. The FBI needs to investigate them. Do not put your son and daughter there. They are probably involved in other illegal activities.

I read a morning Passage every day and then I copy and send it out to about 200 people! Sometimes they respond sometimes they don't but if I can help just one person see the Light of the Lord that's enough for me! This organization based on these reviews, has helped more than one person and in my eyes that's good enough! So find something else to complain about folks! If you think it's a bad place and you're a Christian then you know God is watching and it's up to him to judge! Not Us!

It is places like this that gives real Christ led organizations a bad name. Hiding behind God and going against his word is dangerous grounds. My 85 year old mom on a fixed income gave the required or "donation" $500 to get her son some help like any mother would do. He was taken there Wednesday and unfortunately he leaves the next morning. I say he leaves they dropped him off at a McDonald's with no money, at which I myself gave $60 to go into his file, no nothing and they couldn't stay and help him cause the guy had to get back to prayer time. Really? Wonder if the prayers were Lord send me someone hungry I can feed or someone needs... well not gonna get into that. Needless to say Mom was devastated, heartbroken and crying. I called to at least see if she could get her money back being at the least she may owe them a few hours stay and a breakfast. I was shocked to hear "it's not our fault he left no refund". I could understand if we were talking about a month or longer but less than 24 hours. Is this the way to run a Christian organization? Can we break our self made policy to help someone? Very upset would not recommend this place to anyone. GREED is a bad disease and you will pay for it. There is one guy that works there I met while checking my brother in that was a sincere guy who had been through the program. I don't remember your name but my advice it to run. You have a big heart, too big to let this place kill your spirit.

Ships you six men deep in minivans all across the southeast to "fundraise" selling Jesus trinkets in front if Walmarts.

Blatant, disrespectful marketing of Jesus.
The exact thing he flipped the temple tables for.

You will fundraise 13 hours straight Friday and Saturday bringing in usually 9 to 11 hundred dollars a day... but keep your breakfast under 3 dollars and your lunch under 6 dollars and be prepared for a stripsearch when you get back.

You will drive up to 8 hours back to the center through the night after fundraising for 13 hours.

Our driver fell asleep and we wrecked and I dislocated my shoulder

The guys at the NC center alone brought back an average of 40 thousand a week for "apostle mark".

Pastor Tommy dropped the emergency room bill in my lap before church service.

Just think about that.
Good and hard.

Tells you everything you need to know about lifechangers

Horrible people exploiting the weak and desperate for money. Never been treated worse.

I have read the reviews both good and bad about this program and as a former student I will say that this program has the potential to be great IF it was honestly done right. There are some who I believe who have the right intentions but it became more about the all mighty dollar than the all mighty Christ. I wonder if the program didn't begin with the intentions of help others overcome life issues but then the greed of money took over. There were some good services and some good lessons but the fundraising became obsessive. I mean you could end up going as far as 12 hours or more and spend the entire weekend sometimes more in front of Walmarts or other stores asking for donations. Here is how I feel about that... I completely understand that I wasn't being charged for staying there but I know for a fact that with all the crews out that they brought in upwards of 30 grand a week and that was a bad week. We ate terrible especially through the week. Here is the part that really got me though. I did get tired of things and decided to leave one evening which was grounds for dismissal. I get that but I never thought that so called Christian's would take you to a bus station, well in my case a Walmart, set you and your stuff out of the van and drive off. Who knows what could have happened to me.

Definitely a profit driven cult practicing spiritual abuse. All the distinctive. Love-bomb on the way in... then things change. Estranged you/limit and control contact with familt/outside world. No TV no radio. Leaders claim to have gift of prophesy therefore to disobey them us to disobey God. Zero access to females unless you are emptying the cash out of their purses in front of a Walmart. To leave the compound is to go against Gods will and many that leave die. This is a recurring message. Leave equals die. Only higher-ups have access to the women and illicit/inappropriate relationships are status quo. Arranged relationships/marriages. Nobody in leadership has ever left nor do they have more than a year or two of sobriety. Human trafficking. Ride six deep trafficked all over the southeast to "fundraise"... each crew clears a couple grand each weekend. NC center brings in a haul of 30 to 40 thousand a week but guys are fed bologna sandwiches and must keep their breakfast under $3 on the road while fundraising. Unclear whether leadership is clean/sober. No light in their eyes. Danger. Danger. Beware Life Changers Cult.

I was looking for something that would be Christian based and recovery oriented. These folks are NOT what they claim to be.

I located and printed a 23 page document for these charlatans, based in Tennessee. They caused so much harm in less than two weeks that I am still recovering from the experience.

I was in a house... a nice house, granted... in a part of Vancouver, Washington, near the Camas area.

These people seem to prefer to ship in people that have travelled several hundred miles to keep them further separated from their families.

Each 'recruit' is able to write letters to family and friends. However, you are not to touch a computer for a year (per their document) and are not allowed a cell phone. Calls to family or friends may be allowed, but are scheduled, can be made only on an organization cell phone, and the 'privilege' to make said calls can be taken away for a minor infraction of the 'rules' and the receiving of a demerit.

I will write more later, but swear this to be the truth.

My name is Bryan, and these guys have the makings of a cult. They isolate and, I believe, brain wash the prospect. More on this later.

My name is Katie I hacked into Life Changers in Pigeon Forge TN in October 2017 I had struggled with addiction for about five years I had torn apart my whole family lost my job house car and even my two children because of addiction I was in and out of jail and ended up doin a little prison time. After I was released from prison having nowhere to go and no family who wanted me around because of the things I had done I met someone who told me about Life Changers I had nothing to loose so why not I thought little did I know or expect it was really going to change my life forever everyone was welcoming and friendly the staff were very understanding and encouraging they loved on me thy prayed for me laughed with me and cried with me they introduced me to God, to who He really is they taught me how to have a relationship with Him how to love Him the way He loves me after going to the center in TN I found out they had centers all over the US including one in Alaska which is where me kids we're living with my mother in law who had custody of them I was like what are the chances of me randomly picking a rehab in TN without knowing anything about it and they also have one all the way in Alaska and not only was the center in Alaska it's in Wasilla even the exact city my children live in so I knew right then that God had orchestrated the whole thing I was in the program in TN for 6 months then the program paid to send me to the one in Alaska where I finished my other 6 months graduated from and now work for I now y'all to and get to see my two boys that I had lost and given up all hope of ever seeing I have hope again- For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord plans to prosper you and not harm you plans for hope and a future Jeremiah 29:11. Life Changers gave me my life back thy gave me more life then I had before more life then I could have ever hoped for, was it hard? ABSOLUTELY! Yes you travel to other places to fundraise and I love how everyone throws that in there about they force you to fundraise bla bla bla but they forget to mention that they fundraise on Friday and Saturday because they live completely free for the whole 12 months fundraising is how they pay for housing and food I didn't even have clothes when I arrived they even provide the clothing for a lot of people and the one lady was being honest they wouldn't take the guy with the prescription they tell you that over they phone when they do your application no narcotics and no MIND ALTERING OR MOOD ALTERING medicines they are not a medical facility and they tell you that they tell you if they is any medical stuff you need to have it all took care of before you come yes they have a strict schedule you get up at 6am you gotta be dressed and ready for praise and worship by 6:30am then you have breakfast do chores like clean up the house then you go to class and do different bible studies to learn how to come to know God and how to grow closer and stronger in Him then when you graduate not only do they off you a job as staff with the program they also off World Harvest School of Ministry classes which is part of Oral Roberts University to help you maintain the new life they helped you create now I'm deeply sorry for anyone who didn't have the strenth to surrender and let God in and allow Him to heal but you have to want it!

If it hadn't been for Life Changers I wouldn't have my dad or a loving family that cares for me. I would be out living on the streets. These people are incredible. They are there and want to see you clean probably more than you do at first. I thank God everyday for this place and the amazing people here. This is not a cult! I pretty much lived the program under the circumstances of my parents. Doing things the way they do here really helps with discipline and management. My mom got her kids back after the state said she couldn't have them back. She pursued God and got her kids back and three more along with that. They are drug free and continue to have a healthy relationship with their family and others.

This was the scariest most people 3 days of my entire life I thought I was walking into a christian-based rehab facility and all reality it is nothing but a cult are deceiving they are not they're lying they go out and Panhandle sell things that's not the way to spread God's word they make you fast if you don't make enough money they literally had me a piece of cornbread for breakfast they pretend to worship God in all reality that is just a cover-up No Lie my body hurts so bad I could feel the pain being terrorized as I would not participate in the activities they were doing it took me 4 hours of begging for them to take me er my blood pressure was 178/105 heart rate 48 they allow you know medicines at all they take your stuff and don't give it back to you this place is horrible I wish not even the devil's son go there that's how bad it is
