Overcomers is a Bible-based Step Support and Recovery Program to help people who are struggling with life-controlling issues and destructive habits. In a small inner city neighbourhood in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Transformation Church is very outreach-focused and always looking for ways to connect with the community; a community known for drug addiction, crime and prostitution.
Last year, the church decided to run the Overcomers Step Support and Recovery Program for the first time. Each week we met, we would sit in a circle, read through the lesson together, and then open up for discussion. Our conversations were raw, honest and challenging. It was a joy to watch a group of strangers open up with each other about their biggest struggles. We prayed for each other, offered support and invited Jesus Christ into our messes. This is an exciting testimony of how Overcomers helped foster a sense of community and created a safe space where this church and neighbourhood friends could come and be honest with each other about their struggles with addiction, and other destructive habits.
