Reaching the World with Recovery through Christ

     Bridging the Gap Between Traditional 12-Step Support Groups

and Hurting People In Churches of All Christian Denominations

Everyone is welcome at OO meetings

The support group participants, whatever their need, find the extra care and encouragement necessary to grow beyond the wounds of life's battles, the difficulties in family relationships, the bondage of addictive habits and behaviors, and the isolation caused by shame. OO meetings are filled with the faith, hope, and love that only God can provide through Christ.

Who attends OO meetings?

• Church Members who need a safe place to share the truth about their lives - their problems, struggles, and recovery needs.
• New Believers who still struggle with the consequences of sinful behavior - forgiven, but not forgotten and looking for a path to a changed life.
• Active 12 Step Members practicing the 11th step, and seeking spiritual growth through Christ.
• Visitors who have yet to trust Christ and may not feel comfortable in a formal worship service, yet they seek personal recovery in the anonymous support group environment of OO meetings. Countless visitors have come to OO meetings to seek recovery, and soon discovered the power of Jesus Christ and the salvation He offers.

OO meetings operate independent of the local church but within the Body of Christ.  OO recognizes and supports participation in the recovery community.

They provide Christ-centered, recovery support and fellowship for those whose quality of life has suffered due to problems such as:

• codependency

• addiction to drugs and alcohol

• eating disorders

• sexual addiction

• pornography

• gambling

• addiction to spending & debt

• attention deficit disorder

OO is a unique Christian fellowship that grew from one home Bible study in 1977 to an international network of  support groups. The vision that God put in the hearts of Bob and Pauline Bartosch, OO founders, has grown into an effective Christ-centered fellowship that spans America coast to coast and reaches around the world.

In 2008 Overcomers Outreach was blessed to participate in a weekly Christian Recovery Internet Radio program.  On this program you will hear speakers of various backgrounds from OO conferences, meetings and even recorded meetings where people knowingly share their experience, strength and hope so that the listeners might be blessed.  Recording does not take place at open meetings, only those specifically for the purpose of being used in this way.  Please listen in:
