Outreach and Forms

Committees

H.I.M. (hospitals, institutions, and missions)

A key to Outreach, Hospitals, Institutions, and Missions Ministry is perhaps the most rewarding experience one can have. We “carry the message” to those who otherwise cannot attend regular meetings. Hospitals, treatment centers, jails, prisons , and rescue missions are full of people who suffer as we once did and who need our help. Panels and regular meetings are run by volunteers and put on for the benefit of the clients or inmates, although the panel members really benefit as well. It takes a lot of commitment and perseverance, but the blessing is bountiful, so form or join a committee now.

Public Information

The purpose of the Public Information Committee is to carry the message of Overcomers Outreach to those still suffering. We achieve this by making our presence known to the person, community groups, and interested parties affected by addiction. We also have the task of keeping our own fellowship members informed and up-to-date (on the changes) with respect to Overcomers Outreach.

Event Planning

Book Marks

These bookmarks should be printed on "card stock" heavy paper. They are 2-sided, 5 per sheet. Pass them out to celebrate "milestones" in recovery at meetings in jails or institutions where key tags are inappropriate or not economically feasible, such as treatment centers or rescue missions, or any meeting. The encouragement afforded is important for early individual recovery and something to "keep coming back" for. In accordance with our primary purpose of serving as a bridge between "outside" fellowships and the Church, they may be used with other "chips" or tokens. The suggested color scheme is listed with each link to match our key tags, but  they may be printed all one color if desired. Pastel paper sets off the black ink better than darker colors. Click on the blue link to download the form for printing.
