Celebrate Recovery Continues to Grow in Kenya


From Jana O'Guin of Saddleback Church. Friday, in spite of it being declared a national holiday for the signing of the new constitution and the pouring rain, pastors and prison chaplains came to the CR follow up meeting. Senior pastors came from Eldoret and another brought 2 associate pastors and they all rode their bicycles 20k to be there. Did I mention it was raining?

After presenting an overview of CR we had a lot of great discussion about how to get CR started. They were very excited about how it can bring healing to their congregations but a little overwhelmed with how to get it going. We brainstormed different ways of starting poly, poly (slowly). They had lots of great, thoughtful questions about how to make it work culturally. Many shared how CR has impacted their own lives. Overall it was a very encouraging meeting, both for us and for them. For more updates click the link above or CR Africa

Celebrate Recovery starts in Nigeria

Let us thank God and celebrate with Rhema Chapel International churches Ikeja! With leadership from Debola Oni and her Celebrate Recovery Team and excellent Senior Pastor support from her husband, Rhema Chapel, Ikeja now offers Celebrate Recovery meetings.



After following the 90 day kick-off plan (and continued leadership training), the group began meeting with 39 people at the first meeting. They will continue meeting every other Saturday and offer women's open share groups for Chemical Dependency, anger and other life issues. The next meeting is scheduled for Aug 28th.


Please join us in praying for God's healing work in this church and in the lives of those who lead and participate in this CR group in Ikeja.
