Selection Process for Obadiah’s House

Our selection process for aftercare residents is by application. We then review and interview the candidate. In potential residents, we look for motivation towards change. If someone can live by rules and accept advice, they are considered. We are looking for men who have found Christ and are willing, under the leadership of the Holy Spirit, to submit one year of their lives to work on issues in their lives that have sent them to prison while at the same time growing in Christ.


Men who are invited to come to Obadiah’s House are asked to make a one-year commitment to stay at the home. Almost all of the men have been involved with drugs and other problems that have consumed many years of their lives. We desire to challenge the men to come home and dedicate this year to finding employment, validating their salvation, and growing as disciples of Christ.
