Recovery Ministry -
Jacksonville, Florida As a joint effort
between the
Missions and Benevolence ministries, the Recovery Ministry seeks to
help those
who are struggling to overcome drug and alcohol addiction. The focus of
this
ministry is teaching how Biblical principles can help in the recovery
process.
The 12 step recovery plan, a long time standard among those seeking
relief from
the bondage of addiction, has at its heart the acknowledgement of God
or a
“Higher Power.” Our efforts are aimed at helping recovering addicts to
understand who this “Higher Power” is and how He can help not only with
recovery from addictions, but with life’s problems in general. In this
ministry
we use both larger group meetings and small discussion groups coupled
with
prayer, sharing times, personal testimonies and guest speakers. Also,
we make
Bibles and Bible correspondence courses available to those who request
them.
Along with these efforts, we also offer benevolent help with various
other
needs such as toiletries, clothing, sheets, blankets, and jackets as
needed and
on a case-by-case basis.
