40 Days For Life
40 Days for Life is an international, faith-based, pro-life advocacy group that campaigns against abortion in over 56 nations worldwide. It was originally started in 2004 by a local group in Bryan-College Station, Texas, led by David Bereit. The name refers to a pattern of several events lasting for 40 days repeated in the Bible, such as in Noah's Ark, Moses's 40 days on Mount Sinai, and Jesus's 40 days in the desert. By the grace of God, 40 Days for Life has achieved a stunning track record of life-saving results since officially launching in 2007 and is rapidly becoming a worldwide movement.
The campaign is active in the fall and spring of each year, though local campaigns may continue on throughout the year.

Celebrate Recovery
Celebrate Recovery (CR) is a Christ-centered, biblically-balanced program that helps people overcome their hurts, habits, and hang-ups. It's based on the actual words of Jesus rather than psychological theory. Saddleback Church (in Lake Forest, CA here is the U.S.) launched Celebrate Recovery over 30 years ago and was designed as a program to help those struggling with hurts, habits and hang-ups by showing them the loving power of Jesus Christ through a recovery process. Celebrate Recovery is now in over 25,000 churches worldwide! In 2011, I became involved with Celebrate Recovery through my local church at the time and it's been a life-changing experience ever since.
Communion with God Ministries
Communion with God Ministries (CWG) is the premier spiritual development and leadership training center that delivers its curriculum based on the Hebrew revelation-based teaching and learning model (Lamad) where students receive biblically-based revelation, perception and illumination from the Holy Spirit and apply that knowledge in every aspect of their lives.
Whether in a small group, a classroom or a church service, revelation-based learning is cultivating an atmosphere where revelation and illumination from the Holy Spirit is received, honored and put into practical application.

Freedom in Christ Ministries
Freedom in Christ Ministries (FICM) began under the leadership of Dr. Neil T. Anderson in 1988 while he served as chairman of the practical theology department of Talbot School of Theology (at Biola University), La Mirada, CA. Dr. Anderson observed that Christian students struggling in their faith had several common issues: they didn’t understand what it meant to be “in Christ” and they weren’t experiencing that “Abba, Father!” connection to God as His children. They also were not winning the spiritual battles for their minds.
Dr. Anderson is the author of the The Steps to Freedom in Christ and The Bondage Breaker that have been used to help tens of thousands of people both in the U.S. and around the world.
