We exist to serve as a bridge between traditional Twelve step recovery groups and churches of all denominations. We recover together as we meet to study and grow in God’s Word. Our ministry is all welcoming, regardless of age, race, lifestyle, background, or belief.

Study Site-The Bridge of Overcomers Outreach 
Hello, from Edmonton, Alberta Canada.
my name is Richard and I would like to say thank you for supporting folks with substance use issues and compulsive disorders. I heard about OO many years ago, when I was a new believer in Christ.
I am interested in obtaining the OO group meeting material, and to be accountable for ministering to people in my area who are Christian and are ashamed of their current predicament with alcohol and compulsive disorders. I this this is a God send to approach people with the Lord and His word to potentially give people a path to healing and restoration.
is there a start up kit I can potentially receive?
Kindest Regards
Richard Sanders.
Do you have any meetings in N.Z?
Not at this time
I need one in London 😀
I’d enjoy receiving information about your group, how to get involved. I want to stop being addicted to anger.

Hi. I believe my daughter is a high functioning alcoholic. We have not talked about it. We live in different states. I want to know how or where to start to begin as the first step. There are no OO places near my home. There are two locations for her in Portland OR. How or do I get a conversation started with her?

Michael Wilson: My greatest sympathy to you on the loss of your long-time girlfriend. Of course you feel alone! I’d like to encourage you to seek support not only in your 12 step meetings but also in Grief Support. At one time Emmanuel Reformed Church on Alondra Blvd in Paramount (562-531-6820) had a Grief Share group. It’s worth checking into. Please don’t isolate!

Hey there, I was in OO in 1990 at a church in Ca. My church is using Celebrate Recovery material. Are the two similar? I want to teach and hope CR will approve my going through recovery with OO! Thank you, Lidia
Can’t speak for CR groups as far as requirements go but the basic difference between the groups is that OO groups are tradition based, and CR is more pastoral based ( a trained teacher/leader). Regardless of the problem or presentation, the solution remains the same – the healing power of Christ.
Overcomers Outreach does differ from Celebrate Recovery. I believe Overcomers Outreach is more Bible-based; whereas Celebrate Recovery comes more out of a pastoral opinion base. Just my opinion.
Hi My Name is Tyrone Taylor. I was recently approached by my Pastor to implement a recovery group at our church. I have 8 years clean from drugs and alcohol and would like to begin an overcomers group at our church. Please help me and /or guide me on how to begin.

Keeping my relationship and commitment with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is an important part of my recovery from my addictions. Thank you Jesus for saving me from me.
Thank goodness. I have
E ordered all the materials and am waiting to receive them! Many times I have seen people leave recovery because they fail to enlarge their spiritual experience. Grateful doesn’t cover it. We will attend our first meeting Tuesday night in Deridder LA! Bless yall!

Hi Joyce
I saw your question on the study site. I have a group meeting in my house –
in fact they just left.
I suggest some “FREED” meeting guide booklets and a few Bibles. Someone make
coffee and someone else bring cookies and you are ready! We have an “Online
Shop” and ask suggested donations for materials, but let me know what you need and we will get you started.
A lot of info and guidance is available on our “Group Network” site as
well. Go to http://www.overcomersoutreach.org for these resources
I would like to start one of these 12-step groups in my home. I am a born again Christian I have had Bible studies in the past related to recovery my goal is to not only bring others into salvation through Christ Jesus but to help them through the process the 12 steps of recovery which will also help them build their relationship in Jesus Christ. Can you help me start this in my home. Thank you and God bless
Sending you an email
Easter Weak
Can you imagine being with Jesus that last week? We assume the disciples were all so strong in their faith and belief in Jesus. They entered the city to shouts and cheers, lifted up and hailed as the answer to all problems. “We’re with Him!” we exclaim, and our hearts overflow with joy, and hope, and love.
But then, in just a short time, He curses a fig tree, His authority is questioned, and He clears the temple courtyard. Some are turning away as He teaches and speaks in parables, offending most of the leadership, and really not behaving as expected at all. He even washed dirty feet!
Then passover, and some really hard teachings, of times to come, hardships and persecution, denial and betrayal, end times, and His leaving. After all this, going to the mount to pray late at night, but we fall asleep while He prays. Then the soldiers come to take Him away, and we all scatter, saying “We’re not with Him!”. How can this happen to the Messiah?
Nighttime court , meeting with Pilate, then to Herod, and back to Pilate, who “found no basis” yet agreed to crucify Him, then hung on a tree to die a shameful death. “It is finished” He says, and breathes His last. The sky darkens, the earth shakes, but Jesus is dead and the body is put in a borrowed tomb, and everyone leaves. Nothing changed, women weeping, men disheartened, faith questioned, darkness, everything is the same, as hope fades. How could we be so wrong? We were sure this man would save us, and lead us to a new life in His new Kingdom. But there were miracles! The lame walked, the blind saw, the dead rose. Could it be that He was but a good teacher? Did God abandon Him? Has He abandoned us? Did we fail Him? What is to become of us?
The activities of the entire week were the preparations of men to celebrate an act of God, and with so much attention to detail, tradition, and ceremony, it is easy to lose sight of purpose. The crowds looked to the man Jesus, to do what a man – empowered by God, of course – could do. And the man shared the same destination as all creatures did. He died. He was without sin, yet He died. And all hope of things being what we planned died with Him. And everyone rested, on the Sabbath – the last day of the week.
I have known that doubt and despair, more than once. My plans, perceptions, and manipulations often fail, and although my intentions are good, and my prayers fervent, I exhaust all my power to make something happen, just the way it “should”, based on the works of man, only to find, in the end, results that are shallow, insufficient, unfulfilling – weak.
The new week begins. Jesus starts the preparations with an act of God. The tomb is empty – “He is risen!” God did what no man could do. He bore the wrath for our sin and conquered death. Now every week, every day, every moment can be joy in His presence. “I make all things new” He proclaims, and we are blessed with new hope, new faith, and new love. As our plans take us back to the “tree of knowledge” and we find ourselves lost again, He offers new forgiveness, new mercies, new life in Him, as only God can do. May we share His love with one another always, and may He always be our new destination. To him be all glory, honor, and praise, now and forever. He is risen, indeed!
I am looking for information about how to start something like this at my church. So if could reply with some information
Provide the OO director with request for starter kit- pray and discuss with your church pastor or elders
