Hurting people need our help!
There is no doubt in my mind that God is calling us to help those with addictions as well as their family and friends who are affected by the addictions. I am reading and studying the following two resources and I am finding them to be right on task.
Pray and ask God if He would have you be involved. We have a place “Out Of The Box” that would make and excellent place for a “Celebrate Recovery” Group.
Who do you know and I dare say all of us know multiple people who get a new lease on life with a ministry like Celebrate Recovery.
I can’t do it alone, we need group leaders, worship leaders, and helpers of all kinds.
Contact me.

Our Community Needs Your Honesty and Help
Many times when God places some need on my heart it has to sit and stew and sometimes for years. One of the more recent ministries to materialize is the Out of the Box Youth Ministry in Downtown Hillsville. But another ministry has been in my heart and prayers for many years. A ministry to those addicted, not just to substances but addicted to anything that is harmful.
Take a look at this video and pray. Ask God if He would have you to be a part of a ministry to those who are hurting from addiction. You can e-mail, call, leave a message here, just get in touch with me. We will need music, hospitality, small group leaders and leaders in general. You do not have to be a member of 1st UMC Hillsville.
I envision finding the people God wants to be involved and starting in Early Spring but I need to know that you feel led to be involved.
