About us

Founded in faith. Built on hope. Restoring lives.

Established in 2018 by three devoted founders, Hope Again Wellness Centre stands as a beacon of hope and divine transformation. Rooted in faith, we are committed to guiding those struggling with addiction toward lasting wellbeing and spiritual renewal through God’s grace.

Founding Vision

Frikkie Hefer, Benita Hefer, and Jurgens Schoeman established Hope Again Wellness Centre as a sanctuary born from a profound combination of personal experience, loss, and unwavering faith. Frikkie’s journey—from the depths of alcohol and cocaine addiction to a life transformed through a powerful encounter with Jesus Christ—became the catalyst for a passionate commitment to helping others find freedom and restoration.

Inspired by the life-changing power of God’s presence and the hope found in Jesus Christ, Frikkie vowed to dedicate his life to guiding others away from the bondage of addiction.

His vision surpasses mere recovery; it seeks to empower individuals with essential life skills while leading them into a renewed life firmly rooted in Christ.

Under the leadership of its founders, Hope Again Wellness Centre has developed into a fully functional recovery facility focused not only on liberating individuals from addiction but also on empowering them to become positive contributors to their communities and beyond. Our diverse leadership team, united by powerful testimonies of God’s grace, is committed to fostering a culture of healing and restoration.

With a qualified and compassionate team, we provide a safe, supportive environment where encounters with Jesus serve as the foundation for genuine and lasting transformation.

We embrace a comprehensive approach to recovery that combines proven therapeutic methods, tools, and systems to cultivate a supportive and healing environment. Our commitment is to facilitate lasting transformation through a faith-centered journey, fostering personal growth and successful reintegration into the community.

Understanding that addiction affects every aspect of a person’s life—physical, emotional, and spiritual—we provide care that addresses the whole individual.

Our comprehensive support includes:

  • Clinical care and emotional support
  • Christ-centered counselling and discipleship
  • Nutritional guidance and wellness activities
  • Family counselling and restoration support

At Hope Again Wellness Centre, we walk alongside each individual in a professional, compassionate, and faith-filled environment. Everything we do is grounded in our belief that transformation is possible when we encounter God.

A Story of Redemption

Frikkie Hefer’s journey is one marked by the grace and mercy of God. Once trapped in addiction—gripped by alcohol and cocaine, surrounded by darkness, and close to ending it all—his life changed the moment he encountered the presence of Jesus Christ.

In the middle of the Karoo, broken and out of hope, Frikkie cried out—and God answered. He heard a promise spoken deep within: “I will restore you, and I will use you to restore others.”

Eighteen years later, that promise has been fulfilled beyond imagination.

Frikkie’s personal restoration became the seed for a much larger mission: to build a place where others could encounter the same love, freedom, and purpose found in Christ.
