About The Program
For several years, the evidence has become more and more apparent, that there is a lack of residential facilities for young mothers, who are struggling with life-controlling issues, which can allow them to receive help and be able to keep their children with them. The Bethel House Women allow us to help the entire family!
This allows us to fulfill our mission of bringing Christ-centered restoration and healing to individuals and families that have been destroyed by chronic life-controlling issues or addictions such as: Behavior: anger, anxiety, depression, pornography addiction, gambling addiction; Substance: prescription medications addiction, illicit drug addiction, alcohol addiction, food addiction; Relationships: co-dependent, unhealthy or enmeshed, while empowering them to become productive members of society.
We are expanding our territory.
We are “expanding our territory” at the women’s center and offering more than just a recovery program. We are going to reach out to women in the area that need a place to get involved, find community, and not just those struggling with addiction.
There are women today that may be struggling with addiction. Maybe they need a program …. maybe they just need someone to listen.
There are women who don’t struggle with addiction but they struggle with depression or loneliness or anxiety. Maybe they don’t need medication ….. maybe they just need someone to listen.
And that’s what we at Bethel House are here to do… listen confidentially, without judgment, with understanding and with the love of Jesus Christ.
It is our desire to provide a safe place, not only to those who may need intensive support, but for all women who are seeking community and friendship, a welcoming place where the Holy Spirit can bring healing and wholeness

SHELBIE DONELSON
Women’s Program Coordinator
Shelbie was born and raised in Colorado Springs, CO to a military family. At the age of 15, she began a 33-year drug addiction. Shelbie became a mother yet continued in her life of addiction. She became estranged from all three of her children.
“BUT GOD”
Shelbie’s struggle with addiction ended at the age of 48 when she had an encounter with Christ. Shelbie entered a one-year, faith-based program in San Antonio to help change her path of destructive behavior. After graduating from this program, she began to realize her deep desire and passionate calling to help other women find freedom in Jesus Christ. The Lord completely restored the relationships of Shelbie and her three children and seven beautiful grandchildren. Today Shelbie is a servant leader in women’s Restoration ministry
ALYSSA MORENO
Women’s Residential Coordinator
Alyssa Moreno was born and raised in Dallas, Texas, and is the oldest of seven siblings. She has been surrounded by faith and community from a young age, including spending two years at a Christian children’s home. In high school, Alyssa served as a peer counselor, where she began developing a heart for walking alongside others through difficult seasons.
Although she had a strong faith background, Alyssa struggled with depression for many years. Following the loss of her fiancé, she experienced a season of deep grief that ultimately led her to the doors of New Creation Restoration Center. In January 2025, Alyssa entered the program as a student, where she encountered not only healing and restoration but also a renewed and personal relationship with Jesus Christ. God met her in her darkest places and began restoring what sorrow had taken. What once felt like unbearable loss slowly became a testimony of redemption.
Alyssa continued as an intern and felt called to remain at New Creation Foundation; where she supports residents with compassion, structure, and hope rooted in her own testimony of transformation.
Alyssa’s life is anchored in Mark 8:35: “For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it.” Surrendering the life she once tried to control became the very thing that set her free. Today, Alyssa is passionate about walking alongside others as they discover the same freedom and new life in Jesus Christ that she has found.

For decades, I was enslaved to PTSD. None of the specialists, healers, nor I myself self medicating could help me cope. After my failed suicide attempt, I turned to New Creation Restoration Center for help. They provided me with a safe place to surrender all my trauma to God and truly heal. I have a newfound hope for the future and rests competently in God’s promises.
LYDIA D.
After being delivered from drugs and alcohol, I found myself battling other addictions that were beginning to take me to some of the same terrifying places and causing me so much pain. I knew God was asking me to let these things go and fully surrender to him, but I just didn’t know how. The New Creation Restoration Center has been a beautiful place of healing and growth, where I have been able to work on truly surrendering, dying to self, and letting go of the ways of the world.

PRACTICAL ADVICE
If you are struggling with chronic substance abuse, or any other life-controlling problem, remove yourself from that environment. Easier said than done, right? But, if you are really serious about changing your life, you are going to need to do everything you can to stay away from alcohol and drugs, and away from the people that use them. That temptation is always going to be there, but for now you need to get as far away from it as possible until you build your faith to resist it. You are also going to need to find other people who are willing to help you and support you in your decision to change your life. Have you burned a lot of bridges getting to where you are today? God can restore those relationships, but it’s not going to happen overnight. Find the courage to tell others about your decision, and you will find someone that agrees and wants to help you. Five Things You Can Do Today
PRAY. Don’t ever underestimate the power of prayer. When you pray, you are establishing a relationship with God that will endure through the good days and the bad days.
READ THE BIBLE. The Bible is God’s Word that has been given to us all. Its contents are simple and deeper than you could ever imagine, and will help you in times of struggle. Reading the Bible gives you new insight on this world and the problems we all face.
SEEK FELLOWSHIP. Spending time with other Christians is an important part of the growing process in general, and is a great way to get some advice on the personal things you have going on in your life right now.
WRITE DOWN YOUR PLAN. You need to map out your game plan on paper. If you are really going to change your life, you must have a plan! These plans may change, but you need to have a plan to follow when you hit a weak point.
