Life Hurts God Heals

Coming to FUMC August 19,2010
 
What is Life Hurts God Heals? 
 
Life Hurts God Heals (LHGH) is a biblically based 8-step program for middle and high school students who are experiencing pain or addiction and find themselves involved with: sex, drugs, pornography, eating disorders, drinking, cutting, feeling depressed, living with troubled family dynamics, suicidal thought, pills, etc.
 
Thousands of teenagers have gone through this 8-step program and their lives have been changed.  Here are what a few of them are saying.
 
"I went to LHGH thinking maybe just maybe someone could help me cause the shrinks and anti-depressants weren't cutting it. And, wow, this whole experience so far has been amazing. My outlook on life has changed so much. I know I'm just beginning my road to healing.” - Allie, 16 
 
“I don’t know about you, but my life hurts. I needed help and Life Hurts God Heals gave me that help through other people’s support and openness. I am on my way!”
- Paul, 17
 
 “I showed up at Life Hurts God Heals and God just kind of opened the doors. When other guys in my group opened up, I realized it was a safe place to be open too.”
- Jon, 15
 
“I was having a really hard time with my family and friends and drugs and who knows what else . . . and the people in the Life Hurts God Heals group helped me.”
- Allison, 16
 
“I joined Life Hurts God Heals because I got kicked out and had to live with my dad. I just wanted to start over . . . now I have new friends from LHGH who understand and steps to help me when I want to blow it.” - Theresa, 14
 
“The main reason I joined LHGH is because I never have accepted myself. I’ve always thought I wasn’t good enough. I would wonder why God put me here. To get away from the pain, I would eat. Now, I am in Life Hurts God Heals and receiving steps that I can actually apply to my life to help turn my bad choices into good ones.” - Steph, 18
