The mission of Adventist Recovery Ministries is to share hope, wholeness, and freedom from addictions, trauma, and hurtful habits through the healing power of Christ. To provide training and support for churches and individuals who wish to help those who are seeking freedom from harmful thoughts, habits, and addictions. We wish for all congregations and communities to be a safe place for anyone to come in order to find victory through Jesus Christ.
Journey to Wholeness (JTW) offers a Facilitator program, that can empower individuals with the skills, understanding, and compassion needed to help individuals who are walking the path to freedom from addictions. Whatever your current level of understanding about addictions, we welcome you to join this group by taking both the online and in-person trainings. Developing a Facilitator Network in order to provide peer support for those who are actively engaged as JTW Facilitators, or who are preparing to start a JTW Recovery Group. This network could very well be the key to the success of your ministry.
