CDC has closed its recovery program and merged with Across Nations in Window Rock, AZ.
A new 9 month youth GAP program will be held here when staff and funding are in place again.
We are located in a rural setting outside of Cortez, Colorado, near the Navajo and Ute reservations. The large 6 acre campus is complete with dorms, classrooms, dining room, laundry, gymnasium and exercise room, as well as offices and staff housing. CDC provided 90 day Christian recovery programs for hundreds of Native believers from 32 different tribal groups for 33 years. Many lives were turned around for God’s glory and service. The Recovery Program was closed in 2022.
Our proposed GAP program is described below, and we are trusting God that a merger with Across Nations in Window Rock, AZ will enable us to begin a new youth-focused discipleship program to train and equip a younger generation of Native believers and leaders.
