Recently a banquet was held at Westside Church in Omaha to commemorate a major milestone in the ministry and organization of Overcomers In Christ. This outreach was begun by Bill and Mary Fear and continues under the leadership of Mary since the going home of Bill a fews years back. The focus is to provide Christ-centered resources and support groups for any controlling addiction – whatever it may be, not just chemical dependency. Churches, Jail and other Outreach Ministries utilizing these resources and God’s Spirit have moved thousands of individuals to freedom and peace over the years.
Tesco Production’s involvement with Overcomers In Christ was way back in its infancy when they were needing to first tell their story. Mary came to me and asked if I would help them develop a slide show about how Overcomers In Christ came to be. We assisted in some photography, built the soundtrack and programed the slides. The story of Russ (a young man in Bill and Mary’s life) was being told and Overcomers In Christ was getting their message out. As technology advanced the slide show was eventually converted to video. Since then they have developed many other print and media resources, including a number of Public Service Announcements Tesco Productions recorded for radio broadcast.
It was encouraging to look back and to hear current stories of changed lives and God’s provision for the ongoing work of Overcomers In Christ. Please contact them for any resources you need concerning addictive behavior or support group information.
