THE ADDICTED
The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is upon me, for the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted and to proclaim that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed. Isaiah 61:!
Did you know?
Almost 21 million Americans have at least one addiction yet only 10% receive treatment. Since the 1990’s Opiod sales and drug overdose deaths have both risen 300%. Every day within the U.S. 30 people will die from alcohol related car accidents and 130 will die from an opioid overdose. Alcohol and drug addiction cost the U.S. economy over $600 billion every year. With $600 billion you could end homelessness in the U.S., provide clean drinking water for every human on the planet and have $430 billion left over.
Here’s how we are making an impact.
Jesus came to set the captives free! Do you have a facility? If so, have you considered making it available to a faith based addiction recovery group such as Celebrate Recovery?
CityServe POD Revive Church and Open Door walk in clinic is just one example of how local churches can engage in the initiative to break addiction.
