Arapohue Healing & Recovery Centre

where men find hope and a future

Dear friends,

With eight tangata whaiora (people on a wellness journey) in residence, Arapohue Centre is full and the stories of transformed lives are rolling out. Some of the men shared their stories at the recent Kaipara Leaders meeting held at Arapohue but also at the Lighthouse Church, Dargaville and Ruawai Community Church.

"Go home to your friends and tell them how much the Lord has done for you,
and how he has had mercy on you.” Mark 5:19

Stay blessed,
Ray, Jan and the A-team at Arapohue Centre

Thanks to Des and Alex Bickers who pastor Ruawai Community Church for inviting all our guests back to their farm at Tokatoka for a clay bird shoot and a swim after church.

Hoyle Lodge

Thanks again to the Hoyle family for helping fund these repairs to the rear of the Lodge. Here's an updated photo of the progress outside, although there's still heaps more progress to see in the downstairs laundry, storage room and upper room. Big thanks again to Gary, Jaime and the Arapohue team for all the hard mahi.

Thanks to the Nazarene Church, Dargaville for gifting the brilliant resource Beyond Addiction to Arapohue Centre. We can't recommend this video series enough. It covers the chemical side of addiction and recovery and much more in depth and is extremely insightful. Watch here on YouTube
