As Iron Sharpens Iron,
So
A Friend Sharpens A Friend
Kathy and I had the awesome privilege of attending a special Celebrate Recovery meeting last night at our church. Celebrate Recovery is a 12 step program that has Christ at the center and heart of recovery, surrounded by a group of friends committed to walking with you through the journey. Kathy and I had the joy of hearing the testimonies of those who had finished their steps. I am both humbled and encouraged to see and hear how the mighty power of God has changed their lives.
Scripture

Talk
about the importance of community!
You
can really see the importance of community and friendship when you see the
transformation that has happened within this group! It is truly amazing!
Kathy
and I are so proud of Orville and Linda Renner and their faithful, unyielding,
and unapologetic leadership. Out of their brokenness God has given them a
ministry that is rich and rewarding (and difficult). A
ministry of helping those that need and want to break free of their hurts,
hang-ups, and habits.
They meet every Sunday @ 5 pm at Christ Fellowship in
Building “D”. Need more information about this ministry contact Linda Renner –
she is on Facebook, or private message me and I will get Linda or Orville to
contact you!
I
will pray for Celebrate Recovery and everyone that makes up this amazing ministry!
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, thank You so much for the lives that have been forever changed through
the ministry of Celebrate Recovery. I pray for Orville and Linda Renner as they
lead this group. Give them the strength, the energy, and the wisdom to lead
this group well with integrity and with the tough love necessary to see more
lives transformed in the future.
