Overcomer’s
I would like to say that I have had something to do with the place I am today or better yet tell you the road that lies ahead. I simply can not do that, but what I can do is share with you a particular knowledge of the path less traveled that I have already had to endure. I have been addicted, homeless, hopeless, afraid, but worse yet Lost. Like a child separated from there parents. I know no greater feeling of despair than for a man or woman to be lost in this world and having spent the first thirty years of my life in this deception you can only imagine the pain that the Lord has allowed me to Overcome.
We now know that God is with us all from the beginning and I believe that the men of the Overcomer Center, clients and staff, are here to let others who are lost, know that simple fact. The truth and good news that Daddy loves you, he always has and he always will, so lets get on with it and stop allowing the enemy to have victory in our lives. This pragmatic approach to faith in Christ while almost paint by numbers in Love is the way our staff brings men closer to the blessed place of peace and hope. You can not imagine what it feels like when a man approaches you after a period of time and there in tries to convince you of the goodness of God. When only a few short months ago they struggled with the very fact of God’s existence. To watch these road wearied men come from under bridges, dark alleys, and those seldom spoke of places in life and climb out of there despair and doubt is remarkable. Men who have not shed tears since there birth now weeping with one another and expressing the very issues, so long in bondage, that now flow from every fiber of there still beating hearts. We witness the goodness of God and the Miracles he is able to achieve here at the Overcomer Center everyday.
This isn’t work that I do here it’s Wonderful and I wish that everyone could be a part of it. Furthermore, let me take a moment to Thank all of the donors and volunteers that sacrifice of themselves to keep this light burning.
The Overcomer Center Ministry is firmly standing on Christ Jesus our Lord and “Only” Salvation.
