Why choose the Lasting HOPE Program?
Simple…A Closer Walk. We want to be very clear. H.O.P.E. does not exist to compete with any other addictions program. We believe that other programs can and have helped many people. The purpose for this program is clear and simple. The H.O.P.E. program stands for "Helping Others Put off Entanglements." It is a program that exists to help people all over the world achieve real and lasting freedom from the devastation of any and all addictions in their lives. Galatians 5:1 is our key verse which says, “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.”
There is only one proven way that can be demonstrated to have a 100% success rate when followed as directed. This way is through personally knowing Christ. Notice we did not say knowing about Christ. Nominally religious and non-religious people may reject this statement, but we invite you to experience for yourself the powerful and life-changing relationship that comes from following Christ through a closer walk. A closer walk will be achieved when an individual follows the relationship principles laid out in the Bible. These principles have been put in an easy to use format in the H.O.P.E. Program. They consist of the following three major elements.
- The Knowing Him Day by Day Walk. This aspect has been designed to strengthen your personal relationship with Christ, and to teach you how to actually walk with Him day by day.
- The Formula 4 Life Steps. These steps will help you add the necessary ingredients to experience God’s promised formula for real and lasting success.
- The major element is the weekly support group, which is based on the “Ready, Set, Go” format.
