A religious group from the Cincinnati area is changing the conversation about heroin by holding rallies in the heart of the epidemic. They’re focus is hope from what many view as a dead end.

The next stops are in Piqua Aug. 11-12 and Painesville Aug. 25-26.
They’ve already visited Hillsboro, Bucyrus and Akron, and in Kentucky they were in Florence.

Prayer warriors were mobilized, community compassion evangelism began, and the church was brought to where addicts and families most impacted from the Heroin/Opiate Epidemic lived. Explosive growth has occurred since that time with thousands of lives transformed .
