My wife Jamie started working for Li...Hi Deirdre, <br /><br />My wife Jamie started working for Lifeline in January of 2012. She works with families in Indiana who are close to losing their kids by Department of Child Services if they don't reform. This past February her and several other staff, including CEO Mark Terrell went on a trip to CMA in the Dominican. From Jamie's description, the CMA is nothing like it use to be when it was under different leadership. <br /><br />We actually both use to work at a residential center in the states that was hierarchal based. What we didn't like about his place was how limited we were in developing relationships with the residents. The CMA is not like this at all. About a week ago Jamie and I had an informal phone interview with the Director that took leadership two weeks after Lifeline acquired Crosswinds. I asked for his story, and he took the rest of our conversation to tell me how God has given him a heart and passion to serve struggling youth. From what Jamie said, they are all about positive relationship building, and surrounding the the youth with a community that loves and supports them. One of the residents told Jamie that she was glad she didn't have to climb the steep hill anymore as punishment. <br /><br />I just want you to know that things have changed drastically, and this is coming from a person who has seen institutions continue the cycle of brokenness instead of healing it. Let me know if you would like more information. -MatthewAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12211009885667886247noreply@blogger.com
