Product Info
Starting a recovery ministry isn't about programs, but about recognizing where Jesus is already present and joining in. Planting Hope Here offers a practical, prayer-grounded framework for cultivating seeds of Jesus-shaped community with those walking the recovery journey. Learn to listen before you launch, to recognize where God is already bringing healing, and to build authentic community where lives are transformed and hope takes root.
Description
People in recovery don’t need another program.
Addiction's reach extends into every neighborhood, every church, every family. The need is urgent and the pain is real.
Churches want to help. But too often, good intentions launch programs without relationship, strategies without listening, services without understanding where God is already at work.
Rosario Picardo and Shannon Kiser have walked this ground. Through the launch of Fighting Chance Recovery in Dayton, Ohio—once the opioid overdose capital of America—and years of accompanying churches into everyday mission, they've learned that recovery ministry begins not with marketing plans but with joining God's healing work already underway.
Jesus is already present in recovery spaces, bringing freedom to the captive and hope to the hurting. You're invited to see where he's at work—and join in the transformation.
Planting Hope Here offers a different roadmap—one shaped by the Fresh Expressions Missional Journey framework
