Jeff Colón and Brad Furges share what God is doing through the counseling department at Pure Life Ministries and what you can expect when you enroll in one of our counseling programs. 
Live-In Program
The most intense and involved counseling Pure Life Ministries offers comes through our Live-In Program (6-12 months), conducted on the PLM campus in Kentucky. The godly and sober atmosphere on our 45-acres provokes the hunger for God and deep repentance that destroys the hold of sin in men's lives. Learn More
At-Home Program
The Overcomers At-Home Program is specifically designed for men who cannot come to the Live-In Program, and is especially beneficial for those whose lives are not completely out of control. The OCAH Program is also available for wives (see below) and women struggling with sexual sin. Learn More
Counseling Helpline
When secret sin is exposed, it usually brings with it the need for sound, biblical decisions. Yet, in these emotionally, trying times, it is often very difficult to hear from the Lord. At PLM, we understand that and are now offering a way to apply the wisdom and experience of our counseling staff to help you make the tough decisions you're facing. We call it our Counseling Helpline. It is a helping hand you can reach for to glean sound, biblical wisdom from someone whose been in your shoes. Learn More
Help For Wives
Pure Life Ministries also offers help to wives of men in sexual sin. Our wives' counselors have suffered through the trials and storms of such a discovery and can offer a devastated wife a sympathetic ear and the biblical solutions that worked in their lives. Learn More

Help For Struggling Women
Over the past several years women have increasingly fallen prey to the snares or pornography, promiscuity and adultery. Pure Life Ministries wants to help as many struggling women as we can. If you or another woman you know needs help in this area, this page is devoted to you.
Jeff Colón, MMin. and Rose Colón, MMin., Counseling Program Directors
Pastor Jeff Colón, the director of the Live-In Program, and his wife Rose, both have a Masters of Ministry in Biblical Counseling from Master's Graduate School of Divinity and are certified through the International Association of Biblical Counselors. Jeff, who had previously been through Teen Challenge and The Timothy House (a drug rehab ministry under the auspices of Times Square Church), came to the Pure Life Live-In Program from Long Island, NY in January of 1994.
"It didn't take me long to realize when I came to Pure Life that God was not playing games with me. He was calling me to get off the fence. I was either going to serve Him with all my heart as a real Christian or I was going to sin. The teachings at Pure Life were very clear about what it meant to be a disciple of Jesus Christ."
Upon graduating from the Live-In Program, Jeff and Rose sold their home in New York and entered the Pure Life Intern Program. It was another six months of training as they continued to grow deeper in their walks with God and learned how to minister to sexual addicts. They both came on staff in January 1995, and two years later, Jeff was appointed director of the Live-In Program and Rose the director of the Overcomers At-Home Program counseling for wives.
Today Jeff and Rose live with their dog Champ in Corinth, KY. They stand as a testimony that the Lord can and does take that which the devil meant for evil and turn it into good.
