Addictions counselling as a new form of evangelism.
That’s the way Tim Fletcher does it.
A few years ago, as a pastor and counsellor, he realized that everyone has a loved one who struggled with addictions.
He also discovered that 97% of addicts also struggle from Complex Trauma, often from childhood.
These experiences which repeatedly cause a person to feel unsafe or unloved were resulting in long-long mental unwellness and unhealthy coping mechanisms.
However, no one seemed willing to change their programs based on this new information.
So he developed resources and seminars – now known as RE/ACT.
This good news for those suffering with addictions spread quickly.
In fact, RE/ACT has a 70% success rate, compared to the usual success rate of traditional addictions programs of 5-10%.
As Tim says, this is a new way to meet people where they’re at and let God do the work in people’s lives as He desires.
