Reaching Hands Program
| The Reaching Hands program was developed to address a very pressing need seen in churches across the world. As a recovering addict, Madea felt a presence in many churches that seemed to project an attitude of non-willingness to help the addict or not be accepting toward recovering addicts. After some years Madea came to the conclusion that many churches want to help but they just don’t know how, which is giving a false impression of legalism and closed doors. When realizing this, Madea wanted to help churches open their doors and work with Jesus to help the addicted community. Along with seeing a need, Madea also noticed the increase of addiction within the church, among Christians and within our society. She knows true recovery does not occur without Jesus and wants the addict to feel like the church would be the first place they could find healing. “Reaching Hands” is a Program to help Churches and Christian organizations reach out to the addicted community. It educates, teaches and helps churches implement a strategic plan to reach out and help the addict. *This program works best as a workshop including the following sessions but can be modified to fit your church needs and budget. The workshop can be one day or broken into a series of two days that includes a full concert by Madea. |
