This NLT Bible has a fabulous study plan that takes you through each of the \n 12 Steps with both Scripture and an encouraging devotional, which can be completed in as little as \n five minutes. (The study starts on page 25, in Genesis 16. The last sentence of each devotional \n points you to the next in the series). There are seven studies for each Step, so you study one Step \n each week!

Just watch the news or read the daily papers and it’s all about negative things that are going \n on in the world. Much of the news is related to violence and the breakdown of the family unit and home. \n Kids are involved in gangs, addiction is running rampant in all kinds of forms and there is abuse of great \n magnitude going on in many homes in our country. \n I speak at many churches and hear the frustration of church leadership about knowing what they can do \n to help those who are hurting so badly in their church family and community. This is where we, at \n Overcomers Outreach, can help - we are here to offer ourselves and our ministry in a loving way. Our \n desire is to come alongside the church and those who are hurting by gently showing them that, in \n Jesus, there is a way out of their pain. We can share how, while attending OO meetings, Jesus helped \n us by putting other hurting people in our lives. Then, by studying the Word of God together, praying for \n each other and just sharing the pain that we \n are going through, we can heal, in time, and \n Overcomers Outreach Canada Inc. \n be set free from our troubles and problems. \n I pray that all of us in Overcomers will be a NEW ADDRESS: Box 1933 \n Beausejour, MB R0E 0C0 \n help to the church, the body of Jesus, and to \n the communities we live in. \n Phone: 1.866.881.2480 \n Ken S \n Email: info@overcomersoutreach.ca \n Program Consultant Canadian Website: www.overcomersoutreach.ca \n US Website: www.overcomersoutreach.org","bbox":{"left":0.047476,"top":0.488063,"width":0.905486,"height":0.427331}},{"text":"____________________________________________________________________________________ \n 2 l \n DECEMBER 2015 overcomersoutreach.ca","bbox":{"left":0.020952,"top":0.936321,"width":0.748329,"height":0.04507300000000003}}],"images_bbox":[{"left":0.64625,"top":0.259191,"width":0.179998,"height":0.108662}],"images_bbox_not_text_overlap":[{"left":0.64625,"top":0.259191,"width":0.179998,"height":0.108662}]}
