Who We Are
We are an after care support ministry, supporting ex-offenders and ex-psychiatric patients as they reintegrate into the community. These two often overlap. We assist their reintegration through a one to one mentoring system. We also support their families. 24/7 telephone counseling is available where people can "just talk to someone" when they need to. We also have Overcomes Bible Institute which is for both those in Prison and for the local Church Fellowship.
Our Vision
From our research it appears there has never been anything like this in Australia and many parts of the world. Most organizations desire to assist the inmate whilst on the inside. We carry on where they leave off. It is our vision to become a world wide organization over the next five years. For the fullness of our vision please see our website.
Types Of Activity
We have had much success in gaining ground and acceptance from those government departments involved in the management and organization of Prisons in Queensland and have gathered some 27 Christian Fellowships together internationally as a networking team at this time.
