Overcomers is a safe place, offering a path to freedom, peace and wellbeing
“Overcomers has changed my life. Growing up, my dad was physically and emotionally abusive. The pain this caused affected all my choices. I was having anxiety attacks every day, and I hated myself for feeling weak. I felt like every relationship in my life was falling apart. I was using self-harm to get relief from all the pain I felt. Through prayer and active involvement in the Overcomers Recovery & Support Program, I learned that Jesus loved me in a way I had never understood. The memory verses helped steady my heart and helped me overcome my anxiety. One of the many things I learned in Overcomers was that I can have a safe relationship with my Heavenly Father. I learned to pray about things. Today I know God will be there for me because he knows how to heal me. God is truly a good and faithful God.”
