The acronym H.O.P.E stands for Helping Others Put off Entanglements. This program began as a desire to see people set free from the “entanglements” that can destroy lives. The word “entangled” in the Bible conveys the idea of being trapped, and many people today seem to live in that condition. Addictions are very powerful. Some of these very things may have cost you greatly, and you are ready to be free. You may have tried other support groups or programs without success. You will discover that the power to “beat the odds” does not lie within yourself,. Many of these programs are “self-help” programs. You may already have discovered that you cannot help yourself, but if you will listen, learn, and receive the truths upon which the program is built, you Will find true freedom. With great excitement, we invite you to discover what millions of people have already learned, “Knowing Christ Makes You Free!”

What is H.O.P.E

The H.O.P.E. Addictions Recovery Program was developed by Rick Carter Jr. Ph.D., an Independent Baptist pastor for use in Independent Baptist churches. The Program is a tool used to answer the epidemic in their own communities and reach addicts and those that struggle with the truth. This is not a self help Program, it is a God help Program. As long as we have the Word of God, we have the answers needed to help those with addiction. H.O.P.E is used by many Independent Baptist Churches around the world to help many get victory over sin through the truth of God’s Word. If you or someone you know would be interested in H.O.P.E, please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions
