RESTORED – RECOVERY MINISTRY

God has a plan and direction for your life. He wants to restore you to Him, restore you to your life and restore you to your family.

NO MEETING APRIL 22

Mondays: 6:30 – 7:30 pm | Room 115 (Entrance H) | All Welcome

Leader: Yago Williams contact [email protected]

God did not design us to suffer with an addiction. We believe that Jesus Christ will heal the inner wounds you’re holding onto that result in acting out in ways that have become destructive behavioral patterns.

Are you ready for a change? If you’ve had enough of addiction dictating your life and affecting the relationships you have with others, it’s time to take the step of reaching out for help.

You owe it to yourself to be surrounded by people who will be honest with you while believing WITH you for God’s freeing power in your life.

You can do this! God’ knows you can and so do we! God wants to RESTORE you.

Being Intentional

By becoming intentional in handing over our issues, hurts and needs and giving  them to God, we’ve learned how to properly deal with real life in real time.

We believe God will do the same for you if you are willing to do the work.

By earnestly seeking God’s will and power, we will go through the 12 steps together winning each day one day at a time.

 

NO Judgement – Meet people who have been there

It’s critical to be honest about the people, places and things in your life as they relate to how you deal with and process stress. When you are accountable and responsible for your actions, you can begin the journey towards living a restored life through the power of Jesus Christ. When you come to Restored, you will meet people who have been in your shoes. People who know what it’s like to feel powerless to an addiction. People who know how it feels to wake up to a staggering amount of guilt, regret and shame. People who know what its like to destroy a family as a result of addiction.

But we’re on the other side of it now and God wants to restore you too!
