We Are Making a Difference!
The Theotherapy Project is making an impact on recidivism! For those inmates who have completed the Theotherapy programs and have been released into society…the recidivism rate dropped to only 15%!

“Welcome to our website! We hope it will give you an idea of what we do and why we do it…and we hope you will catch the vision! For the last nine years we have seen hundreds of incarcerated men and women from many different backgrounds come to a place of sustained emotional freedom as they work hard to resolve their conflicts, own the responsibility for their choices and apply biblical principles of emotional healing to their lives. As an outreach of Zion Springs Ministries, the Theotherapy Project offers faith-based conflict resolution principles to incarcerated men and women with the goal of restoring families and reducing recidivism.” Mark West - Executive Director
