Operation Integrity Update – April 2015
I begin this update with deep appreciation for your
prayerful and financial support in 2014. Year-end 2014 was our most productive
year-end fundraising ever, a huge boost to our ministry efforts and me
personally heading into 2015. Thank you!
2015 has already brought increased opportunities and
challenges, but our fundamental commitment remains in the grass roots local
efforts.
Our southern California fellowships continue helping men, women and families,
escape the destructive behaviors and isolation of addiction.
Operation
Integrity is currently mentoring Christ-centered addiction recovery efforts in
Texas, Missouri, West Virginia, Colorado, Oregon, North Carolina and Nebraska,
Georgia, Alabama and Kentucky and we continue mentoring private recovery meetings
across the U.S. and beyond.
Operation
Integrity has a new ministry partnership with Emmaus Ministries – Chicago. They
offer services to street level sex workers and addicts. We will provide our
literature (OUR JOURNEY HOME & WHEN
LOST MEN COME HOME, NOT FOR MEN ONLY) free of charge to support their efforts.
Operation
Integrity is providing affordable recovery programs
through our 45 Day Intensive & 90 Day Transformation
programs; collaborating with counselors, therapists, churches, and treatment
centers.
Already in 2015, I have been speaking locally and around the U.S. with stops
in Omaha Nebraska, Fort Worth Texas and locally at churches and treatment
programs in California. We are currently in talks about travel to Singapore and
New Zealand for 2016 as well. Our message of information and inspiration,
community, advocating for the inner journey through recovery groups and counseling
have inspired cultural shifts in individuals and church communities, increasing
transparency and openness.
We
have expanded our clergy assistance program to help counselors and therapists continue
their personal growth and recovery. We are helping various church leaders in
Ohio, West Virginia, North Carolina, Oklahoma, California, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Colorado, Texas and Canada, The United Kingdom, Greece, Australia, Croatia and
Uganda.
Approximately 3900 people read Operation
Integrity Weekly.
Real
People Results -
Six
weeks ago, Fred (not his real name) came to Operation Integrity facing the humiliation
and consequences associated with his addiction to pornography and sexual
affairs. Now 53, Fred had followed his father into this addiction – being
exposed to pornography growing up. He has always been hard working, a faithful
church attender and he sincerely wanted to live with respect and dignity, but secrets
and shame were an overpowering part of his life. He had brought great hurt to
his wife and family and he knew it. He was out of control; he knew it, admitted
it and was ready for a change. He just needed help.
Through
working the OI Transformation Program and attending Operation Integrity
meetings, Fred is finding a new life. His attitude has changed; even his wife
and employer have remarked they see a difference in him. Fred has been successful
in business and has reimbursed Operation integrity for costs associated with
the help and care he is receiving. But many are not so fortune.
I
am currently assisting four other men in a similar way as I am working with Fred.
Each of these men face great challenges and are not able to pay for all the
costs associated with the support they receive; their care is made possible by
THE ROGER M. FUND, a scholarship fund dedicated to helping people who cannot
afford the cost associated with their Operation Integrity program. Many lives have changed because someone
like you donated to Operation Integrity.
Our
needs at this time are as follows -
